Genome Browsers

Description:

In this course, we will use the genome browsers from NCBI, UCSC and Ensembl. Used to view the assembly of the complete human genome, these browsers are valuable tools to identify and localize genes, and obtain information about them. In this course, we will see how to view different genome maps/tracks and make best use of them. For example, the EST map can be used to identify undocumented exons or generate the alternative splice variants of genes.
