"The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance visualization tool for interactive exploration of large, integrated genomic datasets. It supports a wide variety of data types, including array-based and next-generation sequence data, and genomic annotations." more details at IGV

Running Program

Also refer to Running Jobs on Sapelo2

  • Version 2.4.4, installed in /usr/local/apps/eb/IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144

To use this version of IGV, please first load the module with

module load IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144

To run IGV GUI, please follow steps as below:

1. log on to Teching cluster login node using ssh with X-forwarding being turned on:

ssh -X MyID@teach.gacrc.uga.edu

2. Once you log on, load IGV and run with its GUI forwarded to your local machine:

module load IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144
sh /usr/local/apps/eb/IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144/igv.sh 

3. When you start IGV for the first time, you might need to set it to use the UGA Proxy server. To do that, once the IGV windows opens, go to View -> Preferences and click on the tab called Proxy. On the Proxy page, select the box for "Use proxy", and fill in the following

Then quit IGV and start it again, following step 2.

4. When you finished, please log out with:

exit
