| 4 | <h1>Welcome to IGB Quickload Main</h1> | 
| 5 | <p> | 
| 6 | Data available here are configured for visualization | 
| 7 | in the <a href="https://bioviz.org">Integrated Genome Browser</a>. | 
| 8 | These data include gene annotation files and genome information for | 
| 9 | many plant, animal, and microbial species.</p> | 
| 10 | <p>When IGB launches, it contacts a deployed copy of Quickload Main and retrieves | 
| 11 | a file "<a href="./contents.txt">contents.txt</a>" that lists all genome assemblies available for | 
| 12 | display in IGB. | 
| 13 | </p> | 
| 14 | <p> | 
| 15 | The data here are version-controlled using subversion, a centralized version-control system that | 
| 16 | attaches versions to individual files and supports checking out parts of the repository. To browse | 
| 17 | the subversion repository hosting these data, visit | 
| 18 | <a href="https://svn.bioviz.org/viewvc/genomes/quickload">https://svn.bioviz.org/viewvc/genomes/quickload/</a>.</p> | 
| 19 | <h2>About Quickload</h2> | 
| 20 | <p> | 
| 21 | A Quickload site is a simple system of directories, sequence files, and | 
| 22 | annotation files formatted for visualization in Integrated Genome Browser. It's a convenient | 
| 23 | way to share data sets with other labs and with the public. IGB can display the contents of | 
| 24 | many Quickload sites at the same time. This makes it easy to compare data across experiments. | 
| 25 | This makes IGB an "integrated" genome browser. | 
| 26 | </p> | 
| 27 | <h2>About this site</h2> | 
| 28 | <p> | 
| 29 | This site is a checked-out copy of Quickload Main subversion repository, deployed in the "htdocs" directory | 
| 30 | of the apache2 Web server. | 
| 31 | </p> | 
| 32 | <p> | 
| 33 | To make the Quickload data contents easy to browse, the repository also includes styling configurations using | 
| 34 | javascript and CSS. | 
| 35 | </p> | 
| 36 |  | 
| 37 | <h2>How to get a copy</h2> | 
| 38 | <p>Install svn and check out the repository with a read-only user:</p> | 
| 39 | <p>`svn co --username=guest https://svn.bioviz.org/repos/genomes/quickload`</p> | 
| 40 | <p>When prompted, enter username "guest" and password "guest".</p> | 
| 41 |  | 
| 42 | <h2>Test a checked-out copy in Integrated Genome Browser</h2> | 
| 43 | <p>Open Integrated Genome Browser and select <B>Preferences</B> from the <B>File</B> menu. Select the <B>Data Sources</B> tab. Add the checked-out root directory as a new Quickload Data Source. The folder containing the file "contents.txt" is the Quickload root directory.</p> | 
| 44 | <h2>Add too big 2bit files</h2> | 
| 45 | <p>Some genome sequence files are so large that they are not version-controlled. One such file | 
| 46 | is `T_aestivum_Aug_2018.2bit`, a wheat genome assembly sequence file. To enable IGB users to view | 
| 47 | sequence data from this genome, add the file to directory `quickload/T_aestivum_Aug_2018`.</p> |
