Abstract: We describe JBrowse Connect, an optional expansion to the JBrowse genome browser, targeted at developers. JBrowse Connect allows live messaging, notifications for new annotation tracks, heavy-duty analyses initiated by the user from within the browser, and other dynamic features. We present example applications of JBrowse Connect that allow users 1) to specify and execute BLAST searches by either running on the same host as the webserver, with a self-contained BLAST module leveraging NCBI Blast+ commands, or via a managed Galaxy instance that can optionally run on a different host, and 2) to run the primer design service Primer3. JBrowse Connect allows users to track job progress and view results in the context of the browser. The software is available under a choice of open source licenses including LGPL and the Artistic License.
