Genome browsers are essential tools for integrating, exploring, and visualizing data from large cancer genomics datasets. JBrowse 2 is a JavaScript genome browser with novel features for visualizing structural variants, syntenic alignments, and multiple types of genomic data. Although JBrowse 2 is available as a web-based or desktop application, the capabilities and features are not fixed and can be expanded through a comprehensive plugin system. To help address users' needs, we launched the new JBrowse 2 Plugin Store (https://jbrowse.org/jb2/plugin_store/). The overarching goals of the Plugin Store are to showcase the crucial features plugins add to JBrowse 2, to enable researchers to search for plugins they need, and for developers to highlight their plugins. The plugin system spans all aspects of the JBrowse 2 application and enables new track types (e.g. Manhattan plots, Hi-C data, ideograms), data adapters (e.g. API endpoint adapters for NCI Genomic Data Commons and the International Cancer Genome Consortium), and views (e.g. dot plots and multiple sequence alignments). Here, we present the capabilities of JBrowse 2 plugins and describe usage scenarios for cancer biologists and bioinformaticians, and software developers.
