New and Improved Gene/Sequence Resources

July 12, 2018


Gene/Sequence Resources (GSR) is a great way to figure out which tools at SGD can help you analyze the yeast genome. Given a gene name, chromosomal region, or raw DNA/protein sequence, GSR retrieves a list of sequence analysis tools, options for accessing biological information, and table/map displays.

Pick up to 11 yeast strains in the new Gene/Sequence Resources

We’ve recently updated GSR to expand its search capabilities and provide more options for downloading, analyzing, and comparing sequences from different S. cerevisiae strains. New features in Gene/Sequence Resources include:

  • Options to select up to 11 different yeast strains for gene searches and sequence downloading
  • Ability to search for multiple genes at a time
  • Sequence alignment/variation tools such as Variant Viewer
  • Convenient, automatic loading of your sequence/gene of interest into other tools at SGD

Be sure to check out the new and improved Gene/Sequence Resources, accessible via the Sequence section in the top purple toolbar, and let us know if you have any feedback.
