Visualization of genomic data Genome browsers
UCSC browser Ensembl browser Others ? Survey
UCSC genome browser Basic functionalities Finding a gene by name by sequence Gene structure Orthologues – i.e. functional homolog in other organisms SNP’s - Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Several other functionalities Gene Sorter - sort according to expression, homology, in situ images of genes in different tissues Custom tracks – upload your own data
UCSC genome browser Easy to use Often updates, but not as often as Ensembl upload of personal tracks Ensembl browser Less easy to use Maintained/updated by several people Gbrowser Genome browsers
