- Click an image from the start screen menu (red box). These species will automatically load the current reference gene models.
- Choose species and version under the Current Genome tab (blue box). Some of these species will require you to select the reference gene models or another data file and load them (see Step 3)
- If your genome of interest is not listed, don't choose anything and skip to Step 4.

When you select the data sets you would like to load, IGB will add new track to the main viewer and list the file in the Data Management table (orange arrows). Initially the track will be empty. This allows you to zoom in to a smaller region of interest before loading data into the memory (see Step 5).
To view data
- Zoom or scroll to a region of interest (See Step 5) then
- Click Load Data (green arrow, box) to load data into the IGB main view.
...
Note: Many data files (especially BAM files) are huge and contain too much data to display at once. For this reason, IGB does NOT automatically load data from a newly opened file . To view data in a file, zoom (See Step 5) and scroll to a region or gene of interest and click Load Data. IGB indicates regions that have not yet been loaded by displaying a slightly darker background color.
...
If you have a sequence file (fasta, 2bit, bnib, etc.) that you would like to use as the reference sequence, use the File > Open Reference Sequence... option. After selecting the file, click *the Load Data* button to load sequence into the Coordinate Axis.
