Please join us for a live, on-line tutorial introducing IGB 8, a preview of an upcoming release of the Integrated Genome Browser:

Integrated Genome Browser (IGB) is a highly interactive, fast and flexible desktop genome browser mainly used to view data from RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and other genome-scale data sets. You can use IGB to visualize and explore your data, make notes on what you find, and create sophisticated graphics for publications, slides, and posters.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use IGB 8 to:
- Load your own custom genome
- Load and filter RNA-Seq data
- Make graphs from high-quality reads
- Color-code features by score (inspired by Cytoscape)
- Run BLASTX searches at NCBI (inspired by Apollo)
- And much more...
To test-run IGB 8, download and launch IGB 8 preview from http://bioviz.org/igb/igb_preview.shtml.
To download and start the currently released version of IGB (IGB 7.0.3), go to bioviz.org and follow the Download links.

I was going to highlight this video soon on our blog, but when I went to look today it was marked "private":
Is that intended? Or is there another version of this available?
Sorry for the inconvenience - we made the video "private" because of some issues with the sound. I've changed the setting to "public" -- if you can overlook the patchy audio, it will be (I hope!) a useful introduction to IGB. Feedback and comments are welcome!
