Data Visualization Workshop
Visualizing genomic datasets using IGV genome browser
This workshop introduced easy ways to visualize different types of NGS datasets using IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer), a popular tool to visualize genomics datasets. The first part of the workshop aims familiarized participants with different options and the user interface of IGV. The second part of the workshop focused on three hands-on data centric modules emphasizing the importance of data exploration through genomic browsers.
The workshop began with an introduction to the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) browser including:
- Pre-processing your data for visualization.
- Loading references and gene annotations.
- Sharing your session with your collaborators.
After the introductory talk three data centric modules were explored:
- Transcriptome visualization and exploration.
- Genome missassemblies
- SNPs discovery and genome rearrangements.
