          Abstract

          Genome browsers play a vital role to provide visualisation for genomic data. It is often the case that bespoke genome browser customisations are required between different research groups, with an obvious necessity to update, upgrade and tailor tracks and features on a potentially frequent basis. However, most of the current genome browsers require highly curated data held in public repositories. Besides, these genome browsers often rely on particular dependencies, where writing plug-in or modifying existing code can be troublesome and resource expensive.

          We present TGAC Browser, a new open-source web-based genome browser designed to overcome shortcomings in available approaches. It uses a locally installed Ensembl Core Database schema and is also able to visualise data from well-known NGS data formats. We also added simple analysis functionality to perform BLAST searches within TGAC Browser. TGAC Browser also allows uploading your genomic data. TGAC Browser is an open-source, easy to set up, and user-friendly genome browser with minimal, lightweight configuration details.
