color the positive and negative strand #14
Comments
Hi I'm not Steve but I think I can answer this one. There are 2 ways to do this, actually 3. To color by strands temporarily use this command
To do this permanently, or until you change it, open prefs.properties in your "igv" folder with a plain text editor. Be sure IGV is not running when you do this. Add the following line
The "igv" folder is under your home directory. Or, open IGV, load a bam file, right click, and select "Color alignments by> read strand". Then shutdown IGV. This is another way to accomplish the above with manual editing the prefs.properties file. |
@jrobinso do you know where to find a list of these available preferences that can be set this way? I saw the page here; https://software.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/prefs.properties but it does not describe this preference If there was a list of these preferences then I could easily add an option to the script to include them in the IGV .bat file. Thanks |
a bit of digging on Google lead me to an example in a repo here; https://github.com/lbergelson/variant-to-igv/blob/master/igv.prefs.properties and what seems to be a larger list here; https://github.com/igvteam/igv/blob/master/src/main/resources/org/broad/igv/prefs/preferences.tab |
@stevekm You found the list before I could respond. The second reference is the most complete list. |
I am gonna mark this as an enhancement since it shouldnt be too difficult to bundle extra preferences into the .bat file, though at the moment I do not really have an ETA for when I might implement it. |
Hello.I‘m using this software and it helps me a lot.
I was wondering if it could color the positive and negative strand .
Thank you.
