Welcome to the Genome Maps wiki!

Genome Maps is an open source and high-performance HTML5 web-based genome browser. Genome Maps allows to browse several genomes and annotations by fetching data from CellBase high-performance REST web services. Custom data (BAMs, VCFs, ...) can also be loaded from remote servers and local disk by using OpenCGA server.

Genome Maps has been designed in a modular way and implemented to be very fast and responsive, it is also highly customizable and easy to integrate by using the different JavaScript APIs implemented. Genome Maps is written in JavaScript and makes an exhaustive use of the open standards HTML5 and CSS3; also, other open source libraries and technologies are used so Genome Maps runs in all modern web browsers without the installation of any web private technology.

To take a quick look visit Genome Maps. You can find and cite the paper at Nuc. Acids Res. at http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/06/08/nar.gkt530.full.
