The web application provides a radpid display of chosen section of genome sequences and tens of aligned annotation annotation tracks, such as ESTs, mRNAs, CpG islands, known genes, predicted genes, assembly gaps, assembly coverage, chromosomal bands, mouse homologies, and much more. Individual items in the tracks opens details pages and provide direct links to othe repositories, such as OMIM, GenBank, PubMed, Entrez, etc, and much more functionality than it is possible to compress into this short description. The binaries are available for download, allowing you to use it for your own genome. The web app contains sequences of over 100 species, including human (Latest: Human assembly is Dec. 2013 [GRCH38/hg38]).
