General Function Checklist
Check IGB file types
- Certain file types created in Galaxy can be opened in IGB by clicking the display in IGB link. Check file types by looking at Galaxy source code.
- Go to https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy
- Identify and select the current release branch of Galaxy. For example, 18.05 was the current branch in May 2018.
- Navigate the source code directories. Go to display_applications/igb
- View list of XML files. Each XML file corresponds to a file type IGB can load from Galaxy. For example, bb.xml lets IGB load bigbed format files.
- Check that all file types are listed below. (Note that this list may get out of date as we add support for more file types to Galaxy.)
