JBrowse Installation and Configuration

Tutorial Level

Beginner to Intermediate. Students should be comfortable performing simple command line tasks like moving files and running scripts.

Intended Audience

JBrowse is sufficiently easy to install (easier than GBrowse!) that a biologist can easily set up and configure a JBrowse server after the initial hurdles of learning about configuration options and file formats are overcome. This class is intended to help them over those hurdles.

Prerequisite Software and Conference PCs

Prerequisite software for JBrowse will be pre-installed on the conference PCs in the classroom area of the California Room. Participants using these PCs will be able to setup and configure JBrowse during the workshop.

After the workshop, a VirtualBox system image with JBrowse prerequisite software pre-installed will be made available on GMOD @ PAG page at GMOD.org. You can use this image to walk through the material presented at this workshop.
