View NGS sequences and annotations
The Genomics Viewer app lets you view and explore integrated genomic data with an embedded version of the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) [1][2]. The genomic data include NGS read alignments, genome variants, and segmented copy number data.
Using the app, you can:
Visualize short-read data (.BAM
or .CRAM
)
aligned to a reference sequence and compare multiple data sets aligned to a common
reference sequence.
View coverage of different regions of the reference sequence.
Investigate quality and other details of aligned reads.
Display nonquantitative genome annotations (.BED
,
.GFF
, .GFF3
, and
.GTF
).
Load structural variants (.VCF
) and visualize genetic
alterations, such as insertions and deletions.
View segmented copy number data (.SEG
) and quantitative genomic
data (.WIG
, .BIGWIG
, and
.BEDGRAPH
), such as ChIP peaks and alignment coverage.
The app requires an internet connection.
