User Guide

Artemis is a genome viewer developped by the Sanger Institute that allows visualization of sequence features and the results of analyses within the context of the sequence, and its six-frame translation. Artemis has been modified to access Agmial servers and to display features like MuGeN (Box coloration, Features shapes).
This page only describes the modifications made to the standard version of artemis. For a complete user guide of artemis, see Sanger site.

System Requirements

Artemis will run on any machine that has a recent version of Java.

Question: When I click on the artemis link, nothing happens

First of all, verify at this address that you have a valid Java software installation. You should - at least - have Java 1.4.2 . If not, follow the instructions on thoses pages to install it.

Question: When I click on the artemis link, my browser ask me what I want to do with the file.

You have to associate the type of files Java WebStart use to define deployable applications (JNLP file) with the appropriate programm (javaws for Linux, JNLPFiles for Windows).

Under Firefox, the browser asks you "What should Firefox do with this file ?". Clik on browse [1] and navigate to the javaws executable. Select it[2] and click ok.

You have now the Java Webstart application defined to open that file [1]
. By clicking on the "Always perform this action for that kind of file" checkbox [2], you save you preferences.

Question: When I click on a feature (with Agmial Protein Browsing enabled), artemis launches Internet Explorer© instead of my prefered browser (Firefox, for example)

Artemis is set to lauch your default browser. How to change your default browser
