Description

This track displays translated blat alignments of non-$organism vertebrate and invertebrate mRNA from Genbank.

The strand information (+/-) for this track is in two parts. The first + indicates the orientation of the query sequence whose translated protein produced the match (here always 5' to 3', hence +). The second + or - indicates the orientation of the matching translated genomic sequence (+ or -).

Method

The alignments were passed through a near-best-in-genome filter.

Using the Filter

The track filter can be used to color, include, or 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 mRNA display. For example, to apply the filter to all brain mRNAs, type "brain" 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 mRNAs that match all of the filter criteria will be highlighted. If "or" is selected, mRNAs that match any 1 of the filter criteria will be highlighted.
  3. Choose the color or display characteristic that will be used to highlight or include/exclude the filtered items. If "exclude" is chosen, the browser will not display mRNAs that match the filter criteria. If "include" is selected, the browser will display only those mRNAs that match the filter criteria.

When you have finished configuring the filter, click the Submit button.
