Models (Chromosome) - #back to top

To activate a model, click on Genome / Species / Genome Set / Model Set / then select Chromosome then click Show. These models are located in the following folder:
/Resources/Genome Database/SPECIES/GENOME_SET/Models/
Note: See Database Section of this document to import custom models.

Annotations - #back to top

To activate a model, click on Genome / Annotations (tab on left) / then select the annotations then click Show. To disable it you click select and click button again. These annotations are located in the following folder:
/Resources/Genome Database/SPECIES/GENOME_SET/Annotations/
Note: See Database Section of this document to import custom annotations.

Genes (enable / disable) - #back to top

To activate genes, click on Genome / Gene / to toggle on and off. These genes are located in the following folder:
/Resources/Genome Database/SPECIES/GENOME_SET/Genes/
Note: See Database Section of this document to import custom genes.

Data panels - #back to top

Once a model is enabled, clicking on any part of the chromosome will spawn a data panel with more detailed info with a table / graph based on the selection and if any genes or annotations are enabled within that area. You can close the panel with an X on the top right.

The model file must be a csv file with the following format must add the file to this path in your application for them to be imported into the application:
/Resources/Genome Database/SPECIES/GENOME_SET/Models

The annotation file must be a bed file with the following format must add the file to this path in your application for them to be imported into the application:
/Resources/Genome Database/SPECIES/GENOME_SET/Annotations

The gene file must be a bed file with the following format must add the file to this path in your application for them to be imported into the application:
/Resources/Genome Database/SPECIES/GENOME_SET/Genes
