JBrowse 2 is a modern genome browser for exploring genomic data on the web, as a desktop application, or embedded inside other applications.
Built with React and TypeScript, it provides the core application, reusable components, and supporting tooling for working with assemblies, tracks, and comparative genomics data.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides multiple genome visualization modes including linear, circular, dotplot, breakpoint split, linear synteny, and tabular views.
- Offers strong support for structural variant and synteny analysis workflows.
- Supports a wide range of genomics data formats including BAM, CRAM, VCF, GFF3, BED, BigBed, BigWig, FASTA, 2bit, and Hi-C data.
- Includes reusable React packages for embedding either the full JBrowse app or individual genome views in other web applications.
- Extends functionality through plugins that can add new view types, track types, and data adapters.
- Can be deployed as a static client-side application and configured with command-line tools for adding assemblies and tracks.
