Description

This track displays translated BLAT alignments of non-$organism vertebrate ESTs from Genbank.

Method

To generate this track, the ESTs are aligned against the genome using the BLAT program. The alignments are passed through a piecewise near-best-in-genome filter.

Using the Filter

The track filter can be used to change the color or include/exclude a subset of individual items within a track. This is helpful when many items are shown in the track display, especially when only some are relevant to the current task. To use the filter:

  1. Enter a value in one or more of the text boxes to filter the EST display. For example, to apply the filter to all ESTs expressed in the liver, type "liver" in the tissue box. For a list of permissible filter values, consult the non-positional table in the Table Browser that corresponds to the factor on which you wish to filter. For example, the non-positional table "tissue" contains all of the types of tissues that can be entered into the tissue text box. Wildcards can also be used in the filter.
  2. If filtering on more than one value, choose the desired combination logic. If "and" is selected, only ESTs that match all of the filter criteria will be highlighted. If "or" is selected, ESTs that match any 1 of the filter criteria will be highlighted.
  3. Choose the color or display characteristic that should be used to highlight or include/exclude the filtered items. If "exclude" is chosen, the browser will not display ESTs that match the filter criteria. If "include" is selected, the browser will display only those ESTs that match the filter criteria.
  4. When you have finished configuring the filter, click the Submit button.
