The NCBI Map Viewer presents a graphical view of the available Human Genome
sequence data as well as cytogenetic, genetic, physical, and radiation hybrid
maps.
The Map Viewer provides displays of the Human Genome sequence for the NCBI
contigs (the 'Contig' map; see assembly
description), the BAC tiling path (the 'GenBank' map), and the location of
genes, STSs, FISH mapped clones, and variation on the contig sequence.
You can find genes or markers of interest by submitting a query against the
whole genome, or a chromosome at a time. Results are indicated both graphically,
as tick marks on the ideogram, and in a tabular format. The results table
includes links to a chromosome graphical view where the gene or marker can be
seen in the context of additional data. Alternatively, you can browse a
chromosome by clicking on a chromosome link in the ideogram above.
Additional information on display control, navigation, and zoom control for
the MapViewer is available in the Help document; descriptions of the human maps displayed are also provided. A separate document
provides more detail about the status of the human genome sequence data.
