NOTE: IGB does NOT immediately display loaded files. Many of today's next-gen sequencing files are too big to display all at once. IGB handles this issue by waiting until a defined, smaller region is selected for viewing.
Choose Species and Genome Version
...
While some file types contain information specifying their species and genome version, most do not. However, if you load a file that has the species and genome information, IGB will open the proper species and genome, even if it is not the one you have chosen.

Data Sets
NOTE: IGB does NOT immediately display loaded files. Many of today's next-gen sequencing files are too big to display all at once. IGB handles this issue by waiting to visualize data sets until you ask it to refresh. While you can immediately refresh to visualize most files, many larger file types, such as BAM and WIG should first have a defined, smaller region selected prior to refreshing the image.
There are several ways to get data sets into IGB, from servers/sources, from URLs and from the local computer. To load data from a server, locate the data set in the folders of the Data Sources panel. Put a check in the box next to the data you are interested in. This file will be entered into the Choose Load Mode list.
For files loaded from URL or from the local computer, just drag and drop into the IGB interface; the file will immediately appear in the Choose Load Mode list. Alternatively, use the File > Open File.. or Open URL... to find and load the file(s) you want. Be sure to set the species and genome at the bottom of the file selection window.
