Hi @jonn-smith, Its actually not easy, it will be a major rewrite, and we on the IGV team do not have resources to pursue this. There are 2 extensions involved, a client and server (python) extension.
The GenePattern Notebook project, http://notebook.genepattern.org, will be implementing igv.js as a launchable tool within JupyterLab, as part of a collection of bioinformatics tools we're incorporating into the Jupyter architecture. As development progresses, we'll post about this on the @GenePattern twitter account.
With the latest release, support had now been added for JupyterLab 3.x.
Excellent! I'm not sure when, but hopefully soon I'll try it out.
The current extensions seem to be for JupyterNotebooks only. Can you update this codebase to work with JupyterLab as well?
It may be relatively easy - I haven't looked into it myself. I just know that jupyter notebook extensions are not compatible with jupyter lab.
