You may browse to the default genome position of an assembly when clicking the "submit" button or you may specify a genome position in a variety of formats.
Valid position queries can include:
To specify a genome position:
Note: A query may have multiple results. If this is the case, a results page will appear listing each result along with the track it is associated with. Once selected, the result will be displayed in the Browser with a highlighted tag, making it easier to identify.
Below is a list of examples that might be used to query the Genome Browser. Note that not every query listed here will produce a result in every assembly. The list serves only to illustrate the different types of queries that can be performed.
| Query | Genome Browser Response |
|---|---|
| chr7 | Displays all of chromosome 7 |
| chr3:1-1000000 | Displays the first million bases of chromosome 3, counting from the p-arm telomere |
| chr3:1000000+2000 | Displays a region of chromosome 3 that spans 2000 bases, starting with position 1000000 |
| chrUn_gl000212 | Displays all of the unplaced contig gl000212 |
| chr6_GL285171_random | Displays the unlocalized contig GL285171 |
| GL192360 | Displays all of scaffold GL192360 |
| 20p13 | Displays the region for band p13 on chromosome 20 |
| 374180 | Displays the region containing Entrez Gene identifier 374180 |
| AA205474 | Displays the region containing the EST with GenBank accession AA205474 in the BRCA1 cancer gene on chromosome 17 |
| AC008101 | Displays the region containing the clone with GenBank accession AC008101 |
| AF083811 | Displays the region containing the mRNA with GenBank accession number AF083811 |

| RH18061;RH80175 15q11;15q13 rs1042522;rs1800370 |
Displays the region between genome landmarks, such as the STS markers RH18061 and
RH80175, or chromosome bands 15q11 to 15q13, or SNPs rs1042522 and rs1800370. This syntax may also be used for other range queries, such as between uniquely determined ESTs, mRNAs, refSeqs, etc. |

| pseudogene mRNA | Lists transcribed pseudogenes, but not cDNAs |
| p53 | Lists mRNAs related to the p53 tumor suppressor |
| T-cell receptor | Lists mRNAs for T-cell receptor genes in GenBank |
| breast cancer | Lists mRNAs associated with breast cancer |
| homeobox caudal | Lists mRNAs for caudal homeobox genes |

| Evans,J.E. | Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author J.E. Evans |
Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Evans JE, internally it uses the format Evans,J.E..
