The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance visualization tool for interactive exploration of large, integrated datasets. It supports a wide variety of data types including sequence alignments, microarrays, and genomic annotations. Up until recently, this tool was only available outside of GenePattern, though it did accept GenePattern file formats. IGV can now be launched from a module available on the GenePattern Server or downloaded from the GenePattern Repository.
With this new development, users can pass their GenePattern result files directly to IGV through GenePattern.
The GenePattern IGV module launches the same application that is available from the IGV website. If you are a user of both the client IGV (either launching from the IGV website or your desktop) and GenePattern, this means you are using the same version of IGV complete with your preferences, home directory, saved genomes, and other such IGV saved presets. For all users,...

In this article we will go through the manual process of setting up your own module repository to connect to your GenePattern server. This may be desirable if you are developing many GenePattern modules and are looking for a way to control versions in both development and pre-release stages. This mechanism also allows for a centralized distribution of modules, both during development and at release.
The following steps describe the setup process:
