How to create a genome from hg19.fa file and GTF file from ensembl to be use to visualize mapped data from tophat in IGV?

I want to visualize mapped data that I got from Tophat (.bam file) and I want to use the genome that I provided in Tophat command line, but I noticed that there is an option in IGV allows user to create genome form a specific reference genome. The problem I faced that when I used the default genome in IGV "hg19" some of the genes name are not found in this release that why I prefer to use the reference genome that I provided in tophat.

This looks like a stub question: "my data" & "it doesn't work" is not specific enough, please take a little more care about the content, you are not trying to "create" your (as in own personal) genome in IGV, are you? Will close if not improved.

If you would like to try Integrated Genome Browser, you can add a custom genome by selecting File > Open Custom Genome

For instructions, see:
