Box 2Examples of URL construction

(a) Find the neighborhood (zoom=2) of the HIRA gene (chromosome 22) on all gene-containing human maps plus an ideogram, with the sequence map (loc) as the master map. Provide the detailed description of the genes (verbose=on). URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/maps.cgi?org=hum&chr=22&query=HIRA&zoom=2&maps=ideogr,morbid,gene,loc&verbose=on

(b) Find human FISH-mapped clones (fish) in a cytogenetic region (coordinates are added to define the region) and also on the sequence map (clone). URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/maps.cgi?org=hum&chr=1&maps=clone,fish[1pter-p31]

(c) Show comparable regions on the human contig (cntg), component (comp), gene (gene,loc), and STS (sts) maps between the markers D7S726 and D7S2686. Show the ruler for the STS map (-r) and highlight the query terms. URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/maps.cgi?org=hum&chr=7&maps=cntg,comp,gene,loc,sts[D7S726:D7S2686]-r&query=D7S726+D7S2686

(d) Show potential genes (RefSeqs, ESTs, GenomeScan models) on a human genomic contig (NT_), with corresponding GenBank Accession numbers used to build the contig (displayed on the comp map) and FISH-mapped clones (on the clone map). URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/maps.cgi?ORG=hum&gnl=NT_023567&maps=cntg-r,clone,comp,scan,est,loc&query=NT_023567&cmd=focus

(e) Display mouse chromosome 6 on the radiation hybrid (rh) and genetic (mgi, wigen) maps and highlight the query term, D6Mit113. Zoom into 30% of the chromosome, with A2m in the center of that region. URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/maps.cgi?org=mouse&chr=6&maps=rh,mgi,wigen&query=D6Mit113&zoom=30
