v2.1.3 Release

ยท 3 min read

This release includes a quality-of-life improvement for users plotting synteny with CIGAR strings. Before this version, the x-axis in the dotplot was assumed to be target sequence (and similarly, the top row in the linear synteny view was assumed to be the target sequence). But now, target can be either x- or y-axis in dotplot, and top or bottom in linear synteny views, removing the need for the user to care as much about query-vs-target ordering.

This release also includes several fixes for the the behavior of text searching in the linear genome view, a new button to open a .jbrowse file directly from the start screen on jbrowse-desktop, and an important bugfix to plotting inverted alignments on dotplots that affected versions v2.1.0-v2.1.2.

Enjoy!
