How to use Delta?

2. Genome View

Delta uses JBrowse to show 3D genome features and other omics data,such as Ensembl annotations and ENCODE data

Delta uses different glyphs to represent different features. It represents Matrix as a triangle heatmap, TAD as a rectangle as well as interaction peak as an arc line. Users can pan left or right, zoom in or out, toggle tracks on or off in the Genome View. And they can also export the whole web page as a high resolution image.
