What we're solving
IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer) is an interactive tool for visually exploring genomic files. Terra users can open and view BAM and VCF files in workspace data tables in IGV (learn more).
Users have shared feedback that they did not know IGV was available in Terra, and that the current version in Terra is dated and lacks support for common use cases, such as viewing files accessed via DRS URLs or that are compressed.
What's changing for you
Coming.
Benefits to the user experience
We plan to improve our IGV integration, starting with support for hosted files available as DRS URLs.
