Added Export options:
Along with the interface redesigna redesign to improve ease of use, the Export interface now allows users to also received new options. Users can set image size, file type, and image resolution (DPI) for export. IGB now makes it even easier to create high-quality images of 300 dpi or better , (the minimum required for images destined for publication in printed journals). Users can still select whether the want the main image, the main image with the track labels, or the entire window with panels (such as Selection Information) showing. As .png or .jpeg files, these images can readily be used for journal article, presentations or just sharing data with others.
Autoload for features that use sequence data.
IGB has many features that require sequence data, such as Restriction Site mapping, Sequence Viewer for gene models and Search Residues, . IGB now trigger triggers automatic loading of sequence data, which includes a graphic to show the download progressspeeding the process of getting you the information you want. Users can still load sequence Load Sequence in View or Load All Sequence information from the Data Access panel for visualization.
New features for Main View:
We added several nice features to the main view to improve usability. First off, you will see when you start IGB, the welcome screen now has shortcuts for commonly used genomes – one click on a shortcut picture takes you to the most up-to-date genome version for the selected species. Another new feature improves IGB's data loading; now, when you open a file or click the user experience. One new feature creates a track immediately after opening a file or accessing a data set under the Data Access panel, a new track for that data set will appear immediately, showing you even before you load the data into the main view. This is where the data will appear once you've loaded it by after clicking the "Load Data" button. And to help you interact Another feature to improve interaction with displayed data and other elements of the IGB graphical interface, , is that the arrow cursor changes to a hand/pointer when your mouse passes over selectable features, indicating that you can select or otherwise interact with these items.
Expanded residue Search function displays multiple sequences:
We With IGB 6.7, we have introduced the ability to show overlay multiple sequence search results (up to 7 different searches) all aligned onto the genome. The basic residue search function hasn't changed, but if you click ; type in the sequence you are searching for and IGB returns a list of 'hits' and marks on the sequence bar the exact location(s) using a color segment. With the new 'overlay' option while doing a second residue search, IGB will draw results from the second search in a different color and display them alongside results from previous searches. This is useful for showing both primers of a PCR primer pair, for example, or for showing up to 7 activated, subsequent residue searches will be added to the list and highlight in new colors, all at the same time. This is a powerful tool for many purposes! It can be used for showing multiple PCR primers in their accurate positions, aligned in the area of interest; it can show up to 7 enhancer, inhibitor or other elements in a promoter region, and so on. A very handy toolall in their accurate relationship to one another; the list goes on!
Support for new file types:
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
We are always expanding our ability to support new file types. With IGB 6.7, we can now support BedDetail files \[http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1.7\] and tabix indexed GFF files \[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21208982\]. If there is a file type we don't support yet, let us know\! Additionally IGB can now SAVE graph files (including graph files generated with IGB tools\!) as .bedgraph files. |
