attribute | optional | Description |
---|---|---|
name | Required | The name of the file or a URL. The URL can point to any file, anywhere, provided it's accessible via the internet. You can specify the location of the file using an absolute URL or a relative URL. Relative means: relative to the genome version directory where the annots.xml file resides. ex) name="bamfiles/treatment.bam" (relative) name="http://www.example.com/bamfiles/treatment.bam" (absolute) |
title | Optional | User-friendly text IGB will show in the Data Access Panel as the title of the data set. If you don't provide a title, IGB will display the name attribute instead. If you would like IGB to display data set titles in nested folders in the Available Data Sets section of the Data Access panel, insert the folder separator character "/" used under the Unix operating system (a forward slash) into the title. For example, if the file title is "RNA-Seq/Treatment/Sample1" then the data set named |
description | Optional | IGB displays this text in the tooltip that appears when the mouse hovers over the data set title in the Data Access tab. |
url | Optional | Use this tag to specify the location of a Web page describing the data set. If provided, IGB will display an "info" icon next to the data set title. When users click the icon, their Web browser will open showing the contents of the URL you provide. You can specify the location of the file using an absolute URL or a relative URL. Relative means: relative to the genome version directory where the annots.xml file resides. |
load_hint | Optional | If used, its value should be "Whole Sequence". Using this tag will force IGB to load the entire file when users select the genome version, which is usually appropriate only for reference gene model annotations or other equally small data sets. |
label_field | Optional | Use this field to indicate the annotation property (e.g., "score" or "id") that should be used in IGB to label individual annotations. To find out what annotation properties are available for a file, view the Selection Info for an annotation loaded from the file:
Annotation properties are listed in the first column. |
background | Optional | Use this field to define track background color. Note you must use six-digit, hexadecimal triplets to specify color, but do not include a leading "#" character. For example, to specify white background, use background="FFFFFF". |
foreground | Optional | Use this field to define annotation or graph colors (e.g. foreground="00FFFF"). See above. |
max_depth | Optional | Use this field to define the default maximum stack height for an annotations track. This is the number of annotations shown individually in a stack (e.g., max_depth="10" or max_depth="0" for unlimited) |
name_size | Optional | Use this field to define the default track label name font size (e.g. name_size="12") |
connected | Optional | Use this field to define the default boolean value for the connected field (e.g. connected="true" or connected="false"). The default is "true". This tells IGB to draw lines linking the blocks belonging to larger features. |
show2tracks | Optional | Use this field to define the default boolean value for the show2Tracks field (e.g. show2tracks="true" or show2tracks="false"). If you would like minus and plus strand features to be displayed in the same track, set this to "false." The default is "true." |
direction_type | Optional | Use this field to dictate whether annotations or alignments will be shown using arrows and/or color to indicate direction. (e.g. direction_type="arrow", direction_type="color", direction_type="both", direction_type="none"). The default is "none." |
positive_strand_color | Optional | Use this field to define the default positive strand color (e.g. positive_strand_color="CCFFFF") for when the direction_type setting is "color." |
negative_strand_color | Optional | Use this field to define the default negative strand color (e.g. negative_strand_color="33FFFF") for when the directon_type setting is "color." |
