No installation is required for PuTTY (it is a very small program that you run directly). http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html
You would want to use X11 only if a reliable (good, speed-wise) internet connection is available.Comment

Are you using the "basic host name" you use with MobaXterm and the same user name with PuTTY?Originally posted by kaps View Post
MobaXterm appears to include some form of X11 so you may be able to use that program (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/documentation.html#2_3_5).Comment

what is the problem?\Comment

Sounds like you were not able to install X-ming application correctly (or it is not running, check in your windows task manager).
What do you see when you type this command in terminal on server (remove the actual name of the server when posting output/replace with xxx)?
Code:$ echo $DISPLAY

That means you were not able to configure PuTTY correctly. If you did do the "Enable X11 forwarding" on PuTTY you generally have to save the settings. Log out and log back in to the server to see the result of command above. Give that a try.Comment

Its now set. I see the eyes and the clock (though the x shaped icon cannot be seen!).
Now that putty is working, How do i use it to run igv?
ThanksComment

Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods.
