Navigation

On your right, you’ll find a web-version of IGV (igv.js). Most features are similar to the desktop version of IGV, except where specified.

Chromosome chooser

You should see listing of chromosomes in this reference genome.

Choose 1, for chromosome 1.

Manual navigation

Navigate to chr1:10,000-11,000 by entering this into the location field (in the top-left corner of the interface) and clicking Go or pressing Enter.

This shows a window of chromosome 1 that is 1,000 base pairs wide and beginning at position 10,000.
