Hello,

We would like to mention that a community contributed XML configuration file that enables BAM display at IGV was added to Galaxy in 5252:a62cec23a157. In your local Galaxy instance, you can enable it by removing the comments from around:

in your datatypes_conf.xml file for the BAM datatype. This will let users view their BAM files in a local IGV instance or using web start.

We would be interested in including additional displays in Galaxy for other datatypes when they are supported in IGV. If configurations already exist for other datatypes, please feel free to contribute them.

Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dan

Its not released but is available from the "early access" links on the downloads page (htttp://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/downloads). If you want to use IGV with Galaxy we have some XML that will enable that, email me at igv-help@broadinstitute.org to request it.
