This release contains a number of new features and improvements

  • adds the concept of a 'focused view' and keyboard shortcuts for zoom in/out (ctrl or cmd+up/down) and side to side scroll (ctrl or cmd +left/right)

  • make bookmark persistent in localstorage so that they are usable across different sessions

  • upgrades jbrowse-web and jbrowse-desktop to use React 18 and latest versions of mobx+mobx-react+mobx-state-tree, and enable React.StrictMode

Note: embedded users can also opt-into React 18 for their apps, see lgv storybook for details

See the full changelog below for details!

This is a small bugfix release. We removed source maps to avoid some typescript warnings for consumers of our NPM packages. This means our "src" is no longer published to NPM.

We also fixed the "Stranded sequencing" coloring option on alignments tracks, which is especially useful for stranded paired-end RNA-seq and renamed the option to "Color by->First of pair strand", which corresponds to the terminology of IGV.

Hello all, This ended up being a big release with a lot of new stuff!

  • Created the @jbrowse/react-app NPM package which effectively makes the jbrowse-web package NPM-installable. This is still new so let us know what you think. See the docs at https://jbrowse.org/storybook/app/main and example usages at https://jbrowse.org/jb2/docs/embedded_components/ (this is pretty new, there may be more updates or changes to come with this package!)
  • Improved code sharing across web, desktop, and embedded products (this was a large refactor, if you see any bugs let us know!)
  • Improved display of inversions in the read cloud display (see screenshot)
  • Fixed persistent issue with jbrowse create CLI creating corrupted output (update your local install with npm install -g @jbrowse/cli)

Figure showing split long reads alignments on the read cloud display spanning an inversion showing forward (red) to reverse (blue) and back to forward again.

Hello all! We are excited to announce the new features in this release. Here are some highlights

More theme options and dark modeโ€‹

Extra themes can be defined via plugins or via your config file.

Hello all,

This release incorporates a "faceted track selector" similar to JBrowse 1. This track selector is available by default as an alternative to the hierarchical selector, to give users the "best of both worlds"

The faceted selector is a dialog box that is opened from a button "Open faceted selector" at the top of the hierarchical selector.

There are a couple other important bugfixes relating to horizontal flipping in the synteny view, and selecting features in the synteny view.

We really enjoyed meeting everyone at PAG 2023 and hearing all the feedback everyone had! We hope to continue rolling out more improvements over the coming year :)

Hello all,

This release refactored a number of things with the synteny view that should improve performance. This refactoring also enabled self-vs-self alignments to be rendered by the linear synteny view which previously was not supported.

We also fixed the desktop app not being able to auto-update in v2.2.2-v2.3.2. If you are on one of these versions for JBrowse Desktop, please manually download this release to get back into the auto-update stream :)
