Dear all,
I would like to load in IGV last release of human dbSNP, where can I download it?

Download the latest dbSNP vcf file from NCBI ftp site. Use IGVtools to index, not actually sure you need to, then load the vcf just like you do a bam file -
Actually if you download the gzipped (tabix) file and the index (...gz.tbi) you don't need to do anything, just load it. I'm assuming these files are tabix-indexed.
Also, you can actually load it directly by ftp by copy & pasting the URL to "Load from URL" (assuming its tabix indexed, i.e. it has a "tbi" file). Performance will be better if you download it though.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
