genome in IGV session file

Question

[mark.rose]

Hi All

Is it possible to load a genome in an IGV session file. The only examples I've seen are specifying one of the preloaded genomes (e.g hg18) but I would like to load a custom genome via the session file which loads the data tracks as well.

Thanks for you help

why not load the genome during the session inside IGV and save it as a new session?

Because I want to make links to the session files, so that one click loads everything for a sample. There will be very many different reference "genomes" used.
