1 | The tool bar provides access to commonly used functions. The menu bar and pop-up menus (not shown) provide access to all other functions. |
---|---|
2 | The red box on the chromosome ideogram indicates which portion of the chromosome is displayed. When zoomed out to display the full chromosome, the red box disappears from the ideogram. |
3 | The ruler reflects the visible portion of the chromosome. The tick marks indicate chromosome locations. The span lists the number of bases currently displayed. |
4 | IGV displays data in horizontal rows called tracks. Typically, each track represents one sample or experiment. This example shows segmented copy number data. |
5 | IGV also displays features, such as genes, in tracks. By default, IGV displays data in one panel and features in another, as shown here. Drag-and-drop a track name to move a track from one panel to another. Combine data and feature panels by selecting the option to display all tracks in a single panel on the General tab of the Preferences window. |
6 | Track names are listed in the far left panel. Legibility of the names depends on the height of the tracks; i.e., the smaller the track the less legible the name. |
7 | An optional attribute panel displays sample/track attributes represented as colored blocks, where each unique value is assigned a unique color. |
sequence track options
- Sequence top base:A(green),C(blue),G(orange),T(red),repeat sequence will be more remarkable.
Amino acids
are displayed as blocks colored in alternating shades ofgray
.Methionines蛋氨酸
are coloredgreen
, and allstop codons
are coloredred
. When you zoom all the way in, the amino acid symbols will appear.- Click the first row of ac, it will disappear.
- You can
change the strand
that is displayed byclicking on the arrow in the title to the left of the track
. Note that the sequence and the arrow are only displayed when zoomed in to a sufficiently small region. - The direction of the arrow indicates which strand is currently displayed. An arrow
pointing left
indicates that thenegative strand
is showing. This strand will show thecomplement nucleotides
andreverse complement translations
.
Feature track options
- Load gtf file,it should be
sorted
andindexed
, inTools/Run igvtools.
- Display overlapping features, such as
different transcripts of a gene
, onone line
ormultiple lines
Vertical bars
representexons
. Thetaller bars
areCDS
within the exons (thus, theshorter vertical bars
areUTR
).Arrows are the 5'->3' direction
(so if theypointed in the other direction
, thegene would be on the - strand
).- exon and intron connected by conserved sequence.
GT-AG principle[RNA splicing signal]
: Tail of exon to head of intron [GT],tail of intron to head of exon.
