Genomics researchers do better work when they can interactively explore and visualize data. Due to 14 the vast size of experimental datasets, researchers are increasingly using powerful, cloud-based 15 systems to process and analyze data. These remote systems, called science gateways, offer user16 friendly, Web-based access to high performance computing and storage resources, but typically lack 17 interactive visualization capability. In this paper, we present BioViz Connect, a middleware Web 18 application that links CyVerse science gateway resources to the Integrated Genome Browser (IGB), a 19 highly interactive native application implemented in Java that runs on the user's personal computer. 20 Using BioViz Connect, users can (i) stream data from the CyVerse data store into IGB for 21 visualization, (ii) improve the IGB user experience for themselves and others by adding IGB specific 22 metadata to CyVerse data files, including genome version and track appearance, and (iii) run 23 compute-intensive visual analytics functions on CyVerse infrastructure to create new datasets for 24 visualization in IGB or other applications. To demonstrate how BioViz Connect facilitates interactiv
