CisGenome Browser is a light-weight stand-alone genome browser running on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. The use of CisGenome Browser is very easy, and the interface is similar to other genome browsers, such as the UCSC Genome Browser. It is also quite easy to incorporate CisGenome Browser into other programs/softwares.
CisGenome Browser is suitable for visualizing microarray/sequencing/other biological data. It runs locally so that there is no need to upload the user data via internet like adding custom tracks when using UCSC Genome Browser or any other online browsers, which may take quite a long time when the data is large or the internet access is slow. CisGenome Browser is very light-weighted (the excutable file is less than 1MB). It is also a green software, so that it can be used immediately after being downloaded. There are also some other features in CisGenome Browser that are currently not supported by any other browsers. For example, CisGenome Browser can display a region of the genome by rescaling different parts of that region so that some interested parts (such as some particular exons or probes) will be zoomed in and highlighted.
CisGenome Browser is designed to work with any other programs as a visualization component. It is integrated in CisGenome and JETTA. Here is a nice tutorial on CisGenome Browser written by Hongkai Ji..
CisGenome Browser is developed and maintained by Hui Jiang and Fan Wang, from the Wong Lab.
Anyone can use the source codes, documents or the excutable file of CisGenome Browser free of charge for non-commercial use. For commercial use, please contact the author.
