How to load NCBI Mmul_10 genome using URL in IGV Web Browser? #278

Closed pbuendia closed 1 month ago

How do I load NCBI Mmul_10 genome using URL in the IGV Web Browser? I am trying to avoid downloading and uploading to IGV Web Browser but also wondering what the URL option is for or where it should link to?

This is the NCBI Mmul_10 genome URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_003339765.1/

Thanks you for your help!

In the current release at igv.org/app the URL needs to be to an igv.js genome json file, describe [here] (https://github.com/igvteam/igv.js/wiki). However we are just finishing testing on the next release which will allow loading of any assembly from the UCSC genark site. The URL for Mmul_10 is

CORRECTION https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/hubs/GCF/003/339/765/GCF_003339765.1/hub.txt

You can try this from https://igv.org/app-test. There are 2 options for loading the assembly. Loading from the Genomes | URL option will result in a sequence and annotation track, with other track options available from the "Tracks" menu. Loading from the Session | URL menu will result in a larger set of initial tracks. In both cases remaining tracks are available from the "Tracks" menu. Prior to release these options will probably be consolidated under the "Genomes" menu.
