To make IGB easier to use, we re-configured the user interface for several IGB tabs and panels including the
- Bookmarks tab
...
- the Export File window
...
- the Web Links Tools interface
...
- .
...
We also re-designed the IGB start screen. Now, when you start IGB for the first time, you'll see a new start screen that provides quick and easy access to a variety of model organisms, helping new users jump right in.
Credit for this new interface go to Dr. Jeremy Villalobos and Graduate Research Assistant David Norris.
Better Bookmarks tab - and support for comments
The Bookmarks tab now support comments for each bookmark and for supports adding comments to bookmarks and bookmark folders.
When you create a new bookmark, IGB will give you the option to add a free text comment. (As before, you can name bookmarks whatever you like or just use the IGB-supplied default.)
The Add Bookmark function offers the option of making one of two types of bookmarks:
- a Position Only bookmark which records genomic location
- or a Position and Data bookmark, which also records data sets currently being displayed
...
Returning to a Position Only bookmark returns you to the bookmarked genomic position but won't load data.
Returning to a Position and Data bookmark returns you to the bookmarked genomic position and also re-loads data sets that were in the original scene (provided they are available).
Right clicking on the Position and Data a bookmark will open a new window displaying bookmark attributes, such as loaded data sets.
Thank you to Graduate Research Assistants Zhong Ren and David Norris for programming and also to Dr. Alyssa Gulledge for design and usability evaluation.
