Download the Integrated Genome Browser

To download and launch the newest version of IGB (old versions are here), select an icon below:

Which IGB Should I Use?

Most people should use the normal IGB, which will take up a maximum 1 gig of memory on your computer. If you run into a problem loading a large data set and are running a 64-bit operating system, you can launch the 2GB or 5GB versions of IGB which will allocate two gigabytes (or five gigabytes) of memory for IGB.

How Do I launch IGB?

When you click the icon, your browser will download and launch the IGB software using a mechanism called Java Web Start.

The button is linked to a JNLP file, which your browser will download, parse, and then use the information it contains to request the software to download onto your computer.

Some browsers will ask you what you want to do with the JNLP file (instead of automatically downloading it somewhere, or presenting it to you as text). If a dialog appears with "Open using application..." on it, use the javaws application to run your file (and check the box marked "Don't ask me again"):

• <path to java runtime installation>/bin/javaws
• <path to jdk installation>/jre/bin/javaws
• javaws.exe

If you think that your browser should really be working with Java properly, you can test it at Java.com.
