Make IGV session file #1549

Closed diego-rt closed 2 months ago

diego-rt commented 3 months ago

Hello,

I was wondering whether there is a way to generate an IGV session file from the command line?

I have some custom genomes (i.e. path to some fasta file + index) and some bam and bed files that I would like to load in specific combinations and I would like to automate the creation of the session file.

Thank you as always!

There is no tool for this but it is XML so it shouldn't be difficult if you do not want to customize the tracks. See the user documentation for a description of the XML.

Oh I see! Yes, looks straightforward.

Thanks for the quick feedback!
