==About Generic Genome Browser (GBrowse)==
+
 
+
GBrowse is a combination of database and interactive web pages for manipulating and displaying annotations on genomes. Features include:
+
 
+
* Simultaneous bird's eye and detailed views of the genome.
+
* Scroll, zoom, center.
+
* Use a variety of [[GBrowse Configuration HOWTO#Glyphs and Glyph Options|premade glyphs]] or create your own.
+
* Attach arbitrary URLs to any annotation.
+
* Order and appearance of tracks are customizable by administrator and end-user.
+
* Search by annotation ID, name, or comment.
+
* Supports third party annotation using [[GFF]] formats.
+
* Settings persist across sessions.
+
* DNA and [[GFF]] dumps.
+
* Connectivity to different databases, including [[BioSQL]] and [[Chado]].
+
* Multi-language support.
+
* Third-party feature loading.
+
* Customizable [[GBrowse Plugins|plug-in]] architecture (e.g. run [[wp:BLAST|BLAST]], dump & import many formats, find oligonucleotides, [[PrimerDesigner.pm|design primers]], create restriction maps, edit features)
+
 
+
Note that the information on this page refers to GBrowse 2; GBrowse 1.x is recommended only for applications where legacy browser support is required and a single database is used.

The development version of GBrowse is found at https://github.com/GMOD/GBrowse. Please be aware that development versions may have new features that are not fully tested.
+
 
+
Note that GBrowse can also be found on [http://search.cpan.org CPAN] and in the Debian sid ("unstable") apt package repository (so it is available to install via apt-get in Ubuntu since release 12.04).

==Using GBrowse==
+
 
+
===System Requirements===
+
 
+
GBrowse is [[Glossary#Perl|Perl]]-based and the GBrowse 2.x modules are [http://search.cpan.org/dist/GBrowse/ hosted on CPAN]. GBrowse can be installed using the standard Perl module build procedure, or automated using a network-based install script. In order to use the net installer, you will need to have Perl 5.8.6 or higher and the Apache web server installed.
