About IGB QuickLoad

Use IGB QuickLoad (QL) to share data files on-line using a Web site or cloud storage service like Dropbox. Using IGB QuickLoad, you can set up and configure data sets so that they'll be listed in the IGB Data Access panel, making it easy for lab members, collaborators, and the public to browse and view your data. You can also configure colors, stack height, track names, and associate external URLs with data sets. And if you use a Web site to share your data, you can also set a password to protect all or part of your data. IGB QuickLoad supports sharing of any file type you can open in IGB.

QuickLoad sites can be local or remote. Typically, you'll create a QuickLoad site on your local computer, test it, and then transfer it to a Web site or Dropbox folder.

How to set up an IGB QuickLoad site

First, find out if your genome is already supported by the main IGB QuickLoad site

If your genome is already in the main IGB QuickLoad site, then you won't need to share sequence data or reference gene model annotations because IGB can load those from the main site. 

To find out if your genome is already supported, look for it in the contents.txt file from the main IGB QuickLoad site:

If your genome is listed, go to: Sharing data for a genome already in IGB QuickLoad.

If your genome is not listed, go to:  Sharing data for a new or custom genome not already part of IGB QuickLoad.
