Defining Region Of Interest Inside A Track In Igv

Question

[Rossella]

Hi, I need to create a custom IGV track and force the software to visualize directly my region of interest when I load the track (instead of having the user manually choosing the region of interest). Is there a way of doing that in IGV? It UCSC you only have to add "browser position chr22:20100000-20100900" to the track. What about IGV?

Thanks a lot in advance

So, you probably have to make xml file, this what Jim Robinson (developer of IGV) told me. This xml is a session file which talks to IGV and how to make one for with custom track position, its given here
