<h2>
    <strong>IGV 2.3,</strong>&nbsp;released April 2013</h2>

<p><strong>New Features and Improvements</strong></p>
<ul>
    <li>
        <strong>Motif finder. </strong>This new feature allows you to search for a particular nucleotide sequence in the
        reference genome, using either regular expression syntax or IUPAC ambiguity codes. Search results are displayed
        in two new tracks; one displays matches on the positive strand, and the other displays matches on the negative
        strand. Read more about it <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/node/251">here</a>.
    </li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>
        <strong>Copy details of alignment coverage track to the clipboard.&nbsp;</strong>If you hover the mouse cursor
        over a sequence alignment coverage track, the pop-up window shows details about the reads at that locus,
        including the number of reads, and the distribution of called nucleotides. You can now copy this information to
        your computer&#39;s clipboard by right-clicking and selecting&nbsp;<em>Copy Details to Clipboard&nbsp;</em>from
        the menu.
    </li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>
        <strong>Improved memory performance for BAM files. </strong>In this release, sequence alignments that are no
        longer in view are purged from memory more frequently than before. &quot;Out of memory&quot; messages should
        happen less often.
    </li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>
        <strong>Gitools integration. </strong>Gitools is a framework, developed at the Biomedical Research Park in
        Barcelona (PRBB), for analysis and visualization of genomic data. Data and results are represented as browsable
        heatmaps. Data can be exported from IGV in gitools format, or loaded directly into a running gitools session.&nbsp;Available
        under the <em>Tools</em> menu.&nbsp;See http://www.gitools.org for details.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h5>
    Bug Fixes</h5>
<ul>
    <li>
        Improved parsing of GFF3 files, so alternate coding sequences are displayed properly.
    </li>
    <li>
        Fixed loading of BAM files over FTP.
    </li>
    <li>
        Fixed bug where &quot;Load Genome&quot; dialog was sometimes blank.
    </li>
    <li>
        Set autoscale to false when scale manually set, don&#39;t disable &quot;Set Data Range&quot; when autoscale set.
    </li>
    <li>
        Trim any leading bases from VCF files which match the reference, so variants are displayed where the variation
        actually starts.
    </li>
</ul>

            that combines the data values from both tracks. For example, if you multiply two tracks, and one track has a
