Setting Up the JBrowse 2 Genome Browser
JBrowse 2 is a modular genome browser that can visualize many common genomic file formats. While JBrowse 2 supports a variety of different usages, it is particularly suited for deployment on websites, such as model organism databases or other web-based genomic data resources. This protocol provides detailed instructions for setting up JBrowse 2 on an Ubuntu Linux web server, loading a reference genome from a FASTA format file, and adding a gene annotation track from a GFF3 format file. By the end of the protocol, users will have a working JBrowse 2 instance that is accessible via the web. © 2024 The Author(s). Current Protocols published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
