Workshop

Abstract

JBrowse is a free, open source, web-based browser for displaying and navigating genome features. It is part of the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project which aims to provide reusable components for working with genomic data, and is in use by hundreds of organizations around the world. JBrowse is relatively easy to install and can display many types of genome feature. In this workshop, we will look at JBrowse both from the user perspective (how to upload data of various types) and from an administrator perspective (how to configure tracks and make them permanent). The workshop will also introduce GBrowse, GMOD's other genome browser, and SAMtools, an open source tool for working with large sequence alignments. The combination of SAMtools and JBrowse make an excellent platform for providing extra value to sequencing core lab customers.
