Undoubtedly, there are many viewers UCSC Genome Browser, IGV, IGV, .... However, if you ssh to a remote server and want to take a quick view of the data, view large datasets on a traditional viewer is too much. Is there a way to view them in the terminal? In other words, is there a terminal version of genome browser?

well that's kind of an oxymoron don't you think? Terminal implies no graphics. You don't really mean "visualizing genome with ASCII symbols" do you? Because that would be quite a project.
I understand the problem though. There are few things you can do.
One, you can extract regions of interest and only download those.
Two, you can develop certain metrics (or use existing ones) and get the information about the file without the visualization. Think about what are you looking for.
Three, you can take bed files with called peaks. Those are usually fairly small and you can download them quickly. Also, you can use igvtools, make a coarse-grained .tdf file and download that one - if you choose the parameters right, it can be as small as 10Mb.
Hope this helps.

Alternatively, you could install IGV on the remote host (where the big files are) and ssh to it with the -X flag to forward the graphical interface to your local machine.
Hope this helps...

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
