<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>There are other things in Ensembl which I want to use inside igv, not just the annotations such as RNAseq and Epigenetic data, hence I have been looking at loading from URL. Well, based on this IGV documentation, IGV also accepts ftp:</div>

<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Genomeo</div><div><br></div><div>So firstly looking at the information at igv it can only render tracks hosted on http. Those files are on FTP only. Without locally downloading it you won't be able to visualise. We are looking into making this available on http but I cannot give any firm timelines.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Secondly I did manage to load the gtf in igv (did it about 2 weeks ago) but it took 4gb and ages to load. Like cup of coffee timescales but it did work in the end. The solution here would be to use an alternative format such as bigBed. We don't make the genes available in that format at the moment but I am working towards making this happen. We recognise how important this is with so many new browsers now available we need yo make it easier to access Ensembl data and in particular the gene sets.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As an alternative you could always download bed from the rest api's region endpoint (<a href="http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/feature_region" target="_blank">http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/feature_region</a>) so long as you can work in smaller regions (5mb). Or you could attach the Ensembl das source which igv says it can understand. There's info from <a href="http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ensembl_das.html" target="_blank">http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ensembl_das.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Hope this helps a little</div><div><br></div><div>Andy</div><div><br>Sent from my tablet</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br>On 6 Mar 2014, at 18:13, Genomeo Dev <<a href="mailto:genomeodev@gmail.com" target="_blank">genomeodev@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
