The first Beta version of my new Visual Genome Browser concept has been released.

After 7 years of experimentation and learning about genomics I have now published the first version of the Visual Genome Browser.  I have made it available freely for evaluation purposes to get feedback on how it might be useful to people in the bioinformatics and genomics fields.

Please give me feedback.

The initial PDF documentation can be downloaded from:


In a similar way you can install the Windows version of the Visual Genome Browser from the same site:


The email address you can give me feedback at, is in the About dialog of the application.

After installation you will have to first Refresh the Genomes which are available online from the University of California, Santa Cruz, after which you can download the .2bit genome of the HG38 human genome assembly.

Alternatively you can also create subfolders below the Genomes folder containing .TXT files with the EMBL, Fasta or Genbank formats which will then be processed into .2bit files where each sequence will be represented as a separate "chromosome".


Here the separate bacterial genomes are represented as separate sequences.
