Introduction

Paired-end visualization intro - something about what paired-end visualization is.

Viewing paired-end data

You can load paired-end files, such as aligned reads in BAM format, into IGB just like any other data file (see - Loading data).

To enable paired-end visualization, right click on the track or track label and select Show as Paired.

Selecting Show as Paired will change the visualization in several ways:

• Data that were separated by strand will be placed on the same strand. So long as Show as Paired is active, the strands cannot be separated.
• Color by Strand will be activated. This option can be disabled within the Annotation tab.
• Arrows depicting the direction of each strand will be enabled. The Arrow checkbox can be disabled within the Annotation tab.
