Revision history [back]

Hi Chelsea,

Thank you for your question. We are still in the process of developing and implementing the functionality to load VCF files directly into GenomeBrowse, unfortunately the target date of completion has been pushed to after the first of the year.

For the moment we recommend using our analysis software SVS to create custom annotation tracks from the data within the VCF files that can then be viewed within GenomeBrowse. SVS produces IDF files when creating custom tracks that will be auto-detected by GenomeBrowse.

SVS is Golden Helix’s analysis product for a variety of workflows and is a commercial tool, but we offer a fully featured trial for free immediately from our trial request form.

Please feel free to use SVS in trial mode to curate your custom tracks for use with GenomeBrowse.

Thanks, Jami…
