Udaya Lakshmi Chinta joined the IGB team in November 2024, early in her career at UNC Charlotte. She dove into the IGB code base, and mastered aspects of Java programming such as using an IDE debugger to monitor bundles running within an OSGi framework, which uses a custom classloader to manage package loading into the Java Virtual Machine. She then updated and fixed a problem with ProtAnnot, our application that displays protein annotations in the context of genomic sequence. Currently, she is working on demonstrating how IGB Quickload sites can be configured to display genome annotations within the UCSC Genome Browser system, via the UCSC Genome Browser’s data consumption API called “Track Hubs.”
