05-14-2012 - New tutorial: How to launch a GenPlay jar file.

05-11-2012 - New Versions page!! The previous "Old Versions" page has been replaced by a a new Versions page. It contains the GenPlay change log for a better user experience!

03-29-2012 - GenPlay Multi-Genome. File loader has been improved. GenPlay can now load files with defective lines, which are ignored and reported in a log file.

01-30-2012 - GenPlay Multi-Genome. Many bugs have been fixed. Version is much more stable. Great to visualize results of 1,000 genome projects or your own data.

09-13-2011 - GenPlay Multi-Genome has been incorporated to the standard version of the software. Be aware that the multi-genome functionalities are still under development and might not be totally stable.

06-21-2011 - The jar file for GenPlay-MG did not work on some platform. The bugs have been fixed. GenPlay-Mg should now run on all platforms. We have also improved the tutorial.

06-16-2011 - GenPlay Multi-Genome beta is online. Load in Genplay at the same time files mapped in Hg18 and Hg19 ! Compare directly in GenPlay the genomes recently made available by the 1,000 genomes project!. The beta version is now available. Try it and help us make it better by reporting bugs.

06-08-2011 - Score Repartition Around Start. Look at your data longitudinally ! Version 353 includes promoter pile-up function. Useful to look at average histone modification levels or transcription factor occupancy around transcription start site. Function is quite powerful when combined with the new gene filters.

05-26-2011 - Filters for gene tracks added. Score exon function now works with variable window tracks.

05-23-2011 - GenPlay is now published in Bioinformatics. Please quote us to support further developments!

Multi-Genome

We are actively working on improving Multi-Genome functionalities of GenPlay.

The Multi-Genome Tutorial explains how to use these functionalities.

How to launch GenPlay

Click on one of the following links to start GenPlay using Java Web Start. The buttons specify the maximum amount of memory allocated to GenPlay. Try to find a memory amount corresponding to the memory available on your computer, it will help to monitor your memory usage. If the program doesn't start it might be because you don't have enough memory. Try again by clicking on a link specifying less memory.

If you don't have Java WebStart installed on you computer you will need to download it in order to start GenPlay. You can download the most recent version here The version 1.6 of Java is recommended to run GenPlay. Any more recent version can also be used.

Note: The 32-bit Java WebStart is limited on some system to 1GB of memory. The Java 64-bit virtual machine is available only for 64 operating systems with a 64-bit web browser but is not limited to 1GB. We really recommend to use the 64-bit version of Java if possible.

Demo

ChIP-Seq Demo

Two preloaded projects of GenPlay are available. The first one is the result of a ChIP-Seq analysis. There is two versions of the project: a light version showing the data only on the chromosome one that you can start here and a genome wide version, that needs more memory to be loaded here.

The project shows multiple tracks resulting from a ChIP-Seq analysis described in the tutorial section of this website. Since the resolution of the tracks is really high, please allow 1-3 minutes for the project to load after the main window pops-up. Drag the tracks horizontally and use the mouse wheel to navigate on the genome. Right click on the track handlers to show the operation menu.

TimEX Demo

The second demo project is the result of the genome wide TimEX analysis presented in the tutorial section of this website. This demo can be launched here.
