# The Seqhiker's Guide

`seqhiker` is an interactive genome browser for viewing reference sequence, annotations, and BAM alignments.

DON'T PANIC - it is currently in Beta, but should be fairly stable. Feel free to give it
a try.

This documentation is a quick user guide. Start here if you want to install the app, open your files, and begin exploring a genome.

## Quick start

1. Install the latest release.
2. Open `seqhiker`.
3. Drag and drop your files into the window.

A sequence file must be included. This can be:

- FASTA
- GenBank
- EMBL

You can then add:

- GFF3 annotations
- BAM files
