Once Loupe is started, click on the open file button to select a Loupe file to load. You can load a different file at any time by clicking the Open Files... link in the upper-right corner of the window.
Loupe provides a search bar at the top of the window for genome navigation. The search bar accepts gene names or loci in chr:start-end format.
