The inclusion of selected images relevant to the mapping of a particular locus demonstrates the power of the database to act as both an electronic journal and a repository of experimental results. Lastly, the user has been given more control over the display of the linkage and cytological maps. Not only can the whole display be magnified by choosing the magnify button at the bottom of the screen, only those loci localized to an individual band can be highlighted by clicking on a band in the cytological display or a region of the linkage map can be magnified by successively clicking on the portion of the chromosome in which the user is interested. If multiple maps are displayed those loci occurring on multiple maps can be highlighted by selecting the common button. For each query a list of documents is returned which match the query.
Boolean searches are also possible allowing search terms to be combined in a number of ways.
The WWW browsers are rapidly evolving and are implementing different portions of the HTML standard. Your input and help are requested. We are now ready to make the next round of microsatellites from those that have been published over the past few months. Choosing them is an important function and while the committee of Drs. Lunney, Kirkpatrick, Troyer, Tuggle and Rothschild make most of the choices your input is important.
