About:
JBrowse is a high-performance, embeddable genome browser built with JavaScript and React. It enables researchers to visualize and explore large-scale genomic datasets, including DNA sequence, annotations, and experimental data. The tool provides a flexible plugin system for extending functionality and customizing visualizations for specific research needs.
Key Features:
  • Interactive visualization of genomic data tracks
  • Support for multiple file formats (GFF, BED, VCF, BAM)
  • Plugin architecture for custom extensions
  • High-performance rendering for large datasets
  • Web-based and embeddable in other applications
Use Cases:
  • Visualizing genomic variants and annotations in clinical research
  • Comparative genomics analysis across different species
  • Sharing genomic data with collaborators via web interfaces
Alternatives:
  • IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer) – Desktop-focused application vs JBrowse's web-based, embeddable approach
  • UCSC Genome Browser – Web service vs JBrowse's self-hosted and customizable deployment
