- The "Graph Adjuster" has been redesigned to be easier to use
and it has several new features:
Figure: The "Graph Adjuster" tab.
- Options that are not relevant for the current selection will be disabled
- Graph heights can now be adjusted
- Additional heat-maps are available, including transparent ones
Figure: A graph with a transparent heat-map
- Graphs may now be re-named (right-click on the tier label)
- It is possible to combine multiple graphs in one tier (press "Combine" after selecting 2 or more graphs)
- Graph thresholding is performed in a separate window (press "Thresholding")
Figure: The graph thresholding dialog.
- All IGB file types can now be opened in the current genome, or in a new one, with File->Open
- By default, "merge" is selected and data will be added to the current genome
- If "merge" is not selected, a new temporary genome will be created
Figure: The "File->Open" dialog, with the "merge" checkbox.
- It is now possible to open Affymetrix files of the "CHP" file type for tiling arrays. (IGB cannot open "CHP" files from expression arrays.)
- You may now access any previously-loaded genome and sequence with the controls on the left-hand side of the "Data Access" tab.
Figure: The "Data Access" tab now gives access to all loaded genomes.
- IDs of data from all file types is now indexed so that the IDs appear in the "Annotation Browser" tab and the search-by-ID function works for data loaded from all file types
- Multiple items can now be indexed with the same ID
- Searching for an ID will result in all matching items being selected
- Searching is no longer case-sensitive
Figure: Searching by ID is not case-sensitive and can find multiple items.
- The DAS/2 data transfer specification continues to evolve (see biodas.org). This version of IGB is up-to-date with the current known DAS/2 servers
- The interface for data loading from DAS/2 servers has been
improved. Zoom-in to a small region, place a check mark by the items
you'd like to load, then press "Load Features"
Figure: The DAS/2 interface.
- The "Bookmark Manager" is now opened with "Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks"
Figure: To access the "Bookmark Manager", choose "Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks".
