Navigation¶

Mouse and wheel¶

Mouse wheel: zoom in and out
Shift + mouse wheel: pan left and right
Horizontal mouse wheel: pan left and right
Drag on the map track: move the current viewport
Click on the map track outside the current viewport: jump to that region
Double-click empty space in the genome or annotation tracks: center that position in the window

In comparison view:

double-click in a genome axis/coordinate band to center that position in the visible genome area
double-click a match to align that match in the view
click and drag across a genome row to select a comparison interval
right-click a contig in a map strip to reverse-complement or reorder that contig

Trackpad¶

Horizontal two-finger swipe: pan
Pinch: zoom
Vertical swipe zoom can also be enabled in settings

Trackpad and wheel sensitivity can be changed in the settings panel.

Selection¶

Click a feature to select it
Click a read to select it
Click a variant to select it
Double-click a feature or read to open its detailed panel action
Double-click a variant to open its detailed panel action
Click and drag across the genome / annotation area to select a genomic region
In comparison view, click a match to select it
In comparison view, click and drag across a genome row to select a region and list overlapping matches

Selection in genome view just selects the region for now; in future it will allow for things like copying and pasting highlighted sequence.

Temporary save/jump views¶

Pressing shift+1 will save the current position and zoom level. Pressing 1 later will jump back to that position/zoom. This works for the numbers 1-9, giving nine save slots.

Browser mode and comparison mode keep separate temporary slot banks.

Contig menus¶

Contig map strips also support a right-click menu for contig-level actions.

See Contig Actions for reverse-complement and reorder operations in browser mode and comparison view.
