Integrative Genomics Viewer

Java Web Start launchers for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. Three memory configurations are provided. The standard recommendation is 750 MB. Larger amounts of memory may be required for preprocessing very large files (> ~1 GB).

  • 750 MB: Sufficient for most applications.
  • 1.2 GB: Maximum practical memory configuration for Windows.
  • 2 GB: For Mac OS X systems with at least 2 GB of RAM.
  • 10 GB: For 64 bit operating systems.

When to use: This is the easiest way to launch IGV. If you encounter difficulty please email us with a description of the problem, your operating system, and web browser.
