BMC Genomics 2006, 7:300 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/7/300 SFcigreuernesh3ot of the protein sequence view Screenshot of the protein sequence view. The list is grouped by species. Sequences are ordered by the protein name. Different types of information are available for each species (publications, references to sequencing projects, taxonomy and name infor- mation) and each protein sequence (version history, alternative names, domain composition, publications, comments, source, amino acid sequence, links to other databases). All the details can be shown (and hidden) selectively. This way, even long lists can be viewed without cluttering the page. The data is retrieved on demand from the server via Ajax and does not have to be downloaded to the user's computer if not needed. Cursor labels provide the user with a short summary of the information behind the icons. A click shows the complete information. Additional cursors added to the figure to show cursor labels.
