Is there a way to view bases that have been softclipped from reads?

I would like to view bases that have been softclipped from reads in the pileup. Ideally, they should be shaded a different color or otherwise visually distinguished from normal bases.

Currently I'm using IGV to do this - is there a way to enable this in GenomeBrowse?

Currently there isn't any way to see soft-clipped bases in the pile-up. The only way to see soft-clipped bases is to click on an alignment and look at the raw sequence in the data console.

We may add an option to draw soft-clipped bases in future versions of GenomeBrowse though, so keep an eye open for updates.
