AspGD Help: Flanking Features Table

Contents

Description

The AspGD Flanking Features Table helps researchers identify the genomic features within the 10 kb regions upstream and downstream of a feature of interest, and to navigate to their Locus Summary pages or to the GBrowse genome browser display for that chromosomal region. This table shows the coordinates of ORFs and other sequence features.

Using the Flanking Features Table

Each row of the AspGD Flanking Features Table displays information about a chromosomal feature (an ORF or another genetic element, such as a tRNA, RNA gene, transposon or LTR element, rRNA or snRNA). The feature of interest appears in the middle of the table.

The columns of the Flanking Features Table display feature names; link to the Locus page; aliases; sequence coordinates and strand; link to the GBrowse genome browser; and the description of the feature.

Multiple types of feature data may be retrieved using the Batch Download options listed below the table.

Accessing the Flanking Features Table

The Flanking Features Table can be accessed by:
  1. Selecting "Flanking Features Table" under "Maps & Displays" in the lower right section of a Locus Summary page; or
  2. Entering the desired region in Gene/Sequence Resources, pressing the submit form button, and then choosing "Flanking Features via Batch Download" as the display method.
