How to extract genomic features

Overview

Extracting genomic features from a genomic region in a genome of interest is easy using GenomeView. All you need to do is:

1. Find your genome of interest in OrganismView or your genomic feature in FeatView
2. Visualize the genomic region of interest in GenomeView
3. Select and export a genomic region from OrganismView for automatic feature extraction using FeatList
4. Select the features of interest and send them to FastaView to get their sequences in fasta format

Finding the genomic region of interest

There are two general ways to find a genomic region of interest depending on if you know:

1. The genomic location by organism, chromosome, and nucleotide position
2. The name of a genomic feature in the genomic region

Find your genome of interest in OrganismView

Searching for the organism "Arabidopsis thaliana" in OrganismView. Version 9 has been selected containing unmasked genomic sequence. Dataset ch1.xml and chromosome 1 have been selected.

This option should be used if you know the organism, chromosome, and nucleotide position of the genomic region in which you are interested.

1. Go to OrganismView and search for your organism by name by typing part of its name in the name search box, or part of the organism description in the description box.
2. Select the correct organism from the organism list.
3. Select the appropriate genome from the list of genomes for that organism.
4. If needed, select the appropriate dataset and chromosome for the genome.
5. Type in the appropriate location of the genomic region in which you are interested in the "Starting location" box under the "Genome Viewer" section in the lower right of the screen of OrganismView.
6. Press the button called "Launch Genome Viewer" to launch GenomeView to display this genomic region.
