Hi,

I want to display several SNP arrays along WES data and am using the .CN format for loading Lg2 ratio and BAF/heterozygosity (range 0 to 1) for the same sample at the same time. At the moment I adjust track height, Y-as range and data type to Point mannualy and will generate a track display line. However I did not find an option for increasing the dot size from default. While using GWAS data dot size is dependent on p-value. I can't mis-use/re-use the GWAS format as Lg2ratio also goes down for 'deletion regions'. Did I miss some line of information or is it not included in IGV (2.3.90)? Should I go to IGV Light? However I am not really a coder.


At last, but not the least: Thx for IGV!

Hi Jasper,

You didn't miss anything, it is not there for .cn files unfortunately.   That is an oversight, I look into a fix.   If you could attach a small sample file of a .CN file with representative data that would be helpful.    I am not quite following the "down for 'deletion regions'" comment but its been a long time since I dealt with the GWAS format.   Some sample data should make it clear.

Hi Jim,

Attached is a .cn file with SNP array data of part of chromosome 1 and a corresponding view in IGV of the region. Per sample I import the Lg2R and BAF, and change the color for positive Lg2R into red. Regarding the 'down for deletion regions'; With Lg2R we have also negative values/points, which does not fit with the always positive p-values for GWAS and the GWAS file format.

Hi, just getting back to this.  To be clear,  do you want to increase the dot size uniformly, or make it proportional to the value?

Hi, 
Sorry, I missed your answer. For now, increasing dot size uniformly was the main reason. 
An option to make it proportional would be a bonus (which clearly makes it possible to detect/spot outliers and, more importantly, reduces cluttering around zero). The size should that be limited also at the extremes, e.g. in a homozygous loss the Log2R drops to very large negative vaules. And double null-genotypes would also generate large dots. So for me, I would be happy with a uniform increase/setting.

Dear Jim,

Is it possible to achieve what Jasper had asked?

Thank you!

Unfortunately no, this looks like it did not get implemented.    I have opened an issue for this here https://github.com/igvteam/igv/issues/1438
