Adjust IRGV BAM tracks

You can adjust the BAM read coverage track in an Ion Reporter™ Genomic Viewer (IRGV) visualization to make it easier to view the data. When you adjust the BAM read coverage track, it changes the amount of data that is shown in the plot. For example, you can see more BAM tracks when you use the Squish setting.

For best results, use the Expanded option to click and view hover help with details about variants and base calls that are visualized in each read coverage track.

Note: A maximum of 500 aligned reads are shown in each BAM track in Ion Reporter™ Genomic Viewer (IRGV). To see more than 500 aligned reads, use Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV).

In an open Analysis Visualization, in the IRGV & Generate Report tab, click Actions next to the read coverage track, then select an option to adjust the view of the track.
