Introduction
Next-generation sequencing technologies are making it much easier for individual labs to produce huge volumes of short- and long-read sequencing data. To get maximum value from these data, you often
need to view the sequence reads alongside all the other known features in a genome.
The Integrated Genome Browser (IGB, pronounced Ig-Bee) provides advanced, highly-customizable environment for exploring and analyzing large-scale genomic data sets from next-generation sequencing technologies and older, more mature technologies like DNA microarrays. Using IGB, you can:
- View your RNA-Seq, ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq data alongside publicly-available genome annotations and sequence.
- Visualize and compare multiple genomic annotations data sets from a variety of public and private sources.
- Investigate alternative splicing, regulation of gene expression, epigenetic modifications of DNA, and other genome-scale questions.
- View results from aligning short-read sequences onto a target genome, identify SNPs, and check alignment quality.
- Copy segments of genomic data for further analysis in other tools, such as primer design and promoter analysis tools.
- Create high-quality images for publication in a variety of formats, including PDF, PNG, and more.
