- Restart IGB.
- All three bookmarks have persisted in the Bookmarks tab after restarting IGB.
Click on the ARR15 bookmark in the Bookmarks tab from IGB's home page.
- Clicking on the ARR15 bookmark opened the A_thaliana_Jun_2009 genome.
- The ARR15 bookmark zoomed to the correct coordinates (Chr1:28,131,446-28,133,025).
- The LD1 and LD2 track data was automatically loaded.
- The ARR15 bookmark's Comment is still present in the bookmark panel after restarting IGB.
Click on the AT4G11900 bookmark.
