Integration between Emedgene and desktop IGV

While navigating between variants in the Emedgene platform, there is an option to change the genomic position in the full-featured IGV desktop application according to the currently selected variant. How cool is that?

Emedgene integrates seamlessly with the desktop IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer), allowing you to synchronize genomic navigation between the platform and IGV.

How it works?

• When you move between variants in Emedgene, IGV automatically updates to display the same genomic position.

• Enables deeper manual review of mapping data, particularly for ambiguous or low-quality variants.

In order to enable or disable control of IGV from a web browser, please open your desktop IGV application and follow the instructions:

1. Go to the View menu and select Preferences.

1. Go to the Advanced tab.

1. Select or unselect the Enable port option to enable or disable the feature, respectively.

1. Save the changes.

Ensure IGV integration is turned on in the Desktop Apps panel of the variant page sidebar.
