The Broad Institute's Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance desktop application for interactive exploration of massive genomic datasets.

IGV handles massive scale genomic data with zero lag. It supports standard formats like BAM (alignments), VCF (variants), and BED (annotations) across hundreds of reference genomes including hg38 and mm39. Researchers use the desktop application or the igv.js library to visualize RNA-seq coverage, ChIP-seq peaks, and structural variations. The tool integrates directly with the Broad Institute's hosted data tracks (ENCODE, 1000 Genomes) and local server environments. It remains the industry standard for manual variant calling validation and multi-omic data integration.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Contrasting Language Omics Pretraining](https://lausanne.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ZjMIQM_LY9M)

CLOP is an adaptation of OpenAI's CLIP but for Omics - in this demo, genomics. The model is trained on fasta, bed and gff files (representing genomes of different species and their annotations) to learn meaningful representations for further retrieval, classification and generation purposes. The model embeds DNA sequences according to species and biotype (e.g. exon, long non coding RNA, pseudogene, etc.)
