For every file brounght into IGB, a place holder track is created, to show you where your data will appear when visualized. The data set/file will also appear in the Data Management Table. NOTE: IGB does not immediately display the contents of your file; bioinformatics data files often contain enormous amounts of data, more than any program can display. For example, a single short reads alignments ("BAM") file may contain millions of read alignments. IGB generally sets files to Load Region in View, which allows you to set select the size of the region that you are going to load (see Selecting a Region of Interest).

Drag-and-drop your file into IGB
Select the file from a Web link or from your computer desktop, and just drag-and-drop the file into anywhere within the IGB window. You can also access files using File > Open File... or File > Open URL... If you are dragging/opening a file from a private server, you may need to log in to access the data. If so, IGB will open a window for you to enter a user name and password. If you have a sequence file (fasta, 2bit, bnib, etc.) that you would like to use as a reference sequence, use the File > Open Reference Sequence... option.
