<h3>Blueberry QuickLoad for Integrated Genome Browser</h3>
<p>
This site contains data files formatted for visualization in Integrated Genome Browser, a freely available, Java-based, desktop genome browser.
</p>
<p>
Data are from two assemblies of a diploid highbush blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum.
<p>
The first assembly was released in May of 2013 and is described in
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25830017">RNA-Seq analysis and annotation of a draft blueberry genome assembly
identifies candidate genes involved in fruit ripening, biosynthesis of
bioactive compounds, and stage-specific alternative splicing
</a> by Vikas Gupta, April D. Estrada (equal contributors) and co-authors from the <a href="http://www.lorainelab.org">Loraine Lab</a>, the <a href="http://plantsforhumanhealth.ncsu.edu/">Plants for Human Health Institute</a>, and the <a href="http://carb.au.dk/">Centre for Carbohydrate Recognition and Signaling</a>.
</p>
<p>
The second assembly was released in August 2015 but has not been annotated. For more information, contact Rob Reid.

<h4>How to view the data in IGB</h4>
</p>
<p>
1. Download and install IGB. Go to <a href="http://www.bioviz.org/igb">BioViz.org</a> and click <b>Download</b>.
</p>
<p>
2. Once IGB starts, click the blueberry image on the IGB start screen. The published, 2013 assembly will load.
</p>
<p>
3. Wait for gene models to load. It may take about a minute, depending on your network connection.
</p>
<p>To view other data sets (e.g., blueberry RNA-Seq data) open the folders in the left side of the <b>Data Access</b> tab, select data sets, and zoom in using sliders or zoom buttons. To load data after selecting data sets, click the <b>Load Data</b> button at the top right of IGB.
</p>
<p>
To learn more about IGB and how to use it, click the <b>Help</b> menu, which links to the User's Guide, tutorials, and other resources for using IGB.
