Apps for IGB

Monster Alignment Filter detects and hides alignments with suspiciously large gaps relative to the genomic sequence.

Use this App to:

• Filter out alignments with gaps longer than a chosen threshold (default: 10,000 bases).
• Improve clarity when viewing single-cell or bulk RNA-Seq alignments.
• Focus on realistic splicing events by removing spurious alignments.

How to use Monster Alignment Filter App:

1. Install the App.
2. Open a BAM alignment track.
3. Right-click the BAM track label and select Filter
4. Add filter option Reads without monster gaps.
5. Use the input field to set a maximum gap size (default: 10,000 bases).
6. Click Apply to hide alignments with longer gaps in the selected track.
