Abstract

We describe an open source, portable, JavaScript-based genome browser, JBrowse, that can be used to navigate genome annotations over the web. JBrowse helps preserve the user's sense of location by avoiding discontinuous transitions, instead offering smoothly animated panning, zooming, navigation, and track selection. Unlike most existing genome browsers, where the genome is rendered into images on the webserver and the role of the client is restricted to displaying those images, JBrowse distributes work between the server and client and therefore uses significantly less server overhead than previous genome browsers. We report benchmark results empirically comparing server- and client-side rendering strategies, review the architecture and design considerations of JBrowse, and describe a simple wiki plug-in that allows users to upload and share annotation tracks.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
