WebGBrowse is a web interface for setting up GBrowse instances. It helps both biologists and bioinformaticians by allowing them to upload genome annotation information in GFF3 format, configure display of each genomic feature through simple mouse clicks on a web browser and visualize the configured genome with the integrated GBrowse software. Thus, for biologists, WebGBrowse relieves both the burden of installing GBrowse and the need to learn the configuration semantics in order to setup their data on GBrowse. For bioinformaticians who are new to GBrowse, WebGBrowse offers a headstart into understanding GBrowse glyphs and learning how to configure them. WebGBrowse is a good match for any organization that has users who want to create their own GBrowse instances, but lack enough computing resources and expertise to do so. WebGBrowse was developed at Indiana University's Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics. WebGBrowse can be downloaded and installed locally, or you can use the WebGBrowse at CGB.
