Error Loading hg38 Genome in IGV

[Tarık Kırlıoğlu]

Hello,

I'm encountering an error when trying to load a genome in IGV. Specifically, when I attempt to load the hg38 genome (either from the server or as a local FASTA file), I receive an error message saying:  
**"Error loading genome: hg38"**

This issue did not occur previously — I was able to load the same genome without any problems. I have not made any significant changes to my system or files, and my internet connection is working properly.

Here are some details about my setup:
- IGV version: [e.g., 2.16.0]
- Operating system: [Windows 11]
- Loading method: [from server ]

Are you still having this problem? Loading hg38 works for me. It could have been a temporary issue with a server.

Note that in more recent versions of IGV, you can also choose to download the sequence and/or the annotations rather then use them remotely. Doing that means you will be able to use the genome without accessing the internet and you will not have problems with any future server glitches.

I use IGV right now. There is no problem anymore. Thank you for your feedback.
