TruSight Software includes an Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV). You can use IGV to view variant details across all tabs and compare data with variants called in the same case or noted in other databases.
IGV supports creating virtual variants when viewing data at the variant level. For more information, see Virtual Variants.
To display the data in IGV, perform one of the following actions:
•
To view data at the variant level, select the IGV column entry for the variant.
•
To view data at the case level, select Case Visualization above the grid.
The IGV visualization is displayed in a new browser tab.
2.
To display data for a local file, select Local File, and then navigate to an IGV-formatted file. Large files must be compressed before uploading. For more information, see Custom IGV Files.
NOTE
Large visualization files must be compressed before upload.
3.
To view reference tracks, select IGV Track Settings, and then select the checkboxes for the tracks or group of tracks you want to view.
4.
[Optional] View breakends. The breakend view zooms in on the ends of breakpoints in the sequence.
•
To visualize breakends in separate views, select View Breakends.
•
To return to a single breakend view, select Join Breakends.
5.
[Optional] Select Add New Comment to add or update a comment about the variant.
Each new or updated IGV comments is copied as a separate entry to the Variant Details tab comments for the variant.
NOTE
The Variant Details tab does not indicate the source of comments. To differentiate entries created in IGV, preface comments with or other short identifier.
6.
