HI Siavosh,

I am happy to help with your hyperlink questions.

You can link to GenomeBrowse from third party software (ex. Excel, Evernote...) by using a simple html hyperlink similar to the URL: genomebrowse:/api/zoom?locus=chr1:476471220-47647338.

Excel does not really like this URL format inside their HYPERLINK function so in the below example I used the CONCATENATE function to create the full strings before forming the hyperlinks.

So starting from a spreadsheet with at least chromosome, start and stop position you automatically create the hyperlinks by adding following additional columns.

If you click the links GenomeBrowse should open and zoom to that location or just perform the zoom if GenomeBrowse is already running.

Let me know if you have any issues or further questions.

Thanks, Jami...
