New Genome Browser (NGB) is a web-based genome browser designed for researchers and clinicians who need to explore next-generation sequencing data in an interactive environment.
It combines a client-server architecture with support for large genomic datasets, cloud-backed workflows, and integrations with external biological databases, making it suitable for inspecting alignments, variants, and complex genomic events in a browser.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Visualizes alignments and genomic variations in an interactive browser interface.
- Provides dedicated structural variation views, including supporting reads and rearrangement analysis.
- Includes RNA-Seq specific visualization modes.
- Integrates an embedded protein structure viewer.
- Supports CRAM format.
- Connects with external resources such as ENSEMBL and UniPROT.
- Handles large and cloud-based genome datasets with an emphasis on performance and scalability.
- Offers split-view mode, hotkeys, dockable panels, and session sharing tools.
