S. cerevisiae Genomic View Help




The Genomic View is a graphic display of the sixteen chromosomes of S. cerevisiae (represented by horizontal red bars), with a few mapped genes serving as markers. From this display, one can get to the Features Map or GBrowse for any selected location within the S. cerevisiae genome. On the Genomic View display, the centromeres are indicated by black dots. The left arms of the chromosomes are to the left of the centromeres and the right arms are to the right. The approximate length of a chromosome can be determined by comparison to the numbers at the top of the graph, showing 200,000 bp increments.

To use this feature, use the "Map Type" pop-up menu to select the display format you want (the Features Map or Gbrowse) and use the mouse to click on any section of a chromosome. Note that when the cursor is positioned over a section of a chromosome, the "Selection" display shows the chromosomal basepair coordinates that will be displayed after clicking.
