When I used GTF in IGV it doesn't show any thing. That's why I trying to follow the user guide on IGV
Hi All,
I am going to check mapped reads that I got from tophat, and I want to use IGV to look for specific genes names in my data . In my case ,I have to create .genome file in IGV because I used the reference genome and the annotation file from Ensemble .
I tried to creat my .genome file on IGV, I found that in IGV user guide I should have the annotation file as .BED format. so is there any simple tool to convert gtf to bed format.

You can use BEDOPS gtf2bed, e.g., $ gtf2bed < my_data.gtf > my_data.bed
You can use a GTF file in IGV for the annotation. In fact, that's the most common method.
That's unusual. I've done this exact thing before and not had issues. Perhaps something is wonky with the GTF.
Hi Ryan,
As I said above, I downloaded both of the reference genome and the annotation file from Ensemble. So I don't think there is any problem with the GTF file. Also, I got a high rate for mapping using tophat.
