Tutorial
Step 1: Submitting your data
Option 1: Entering an Accession Number
Enter a known GenBank accession number. An example is of a complete genome for Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C with accession number GCA_000146045.2. Chromosome 1 accession number is BK006935.2.
Option 2: Uploading a File
Upload your GenBank file or raw nucleotide sequence as a FASTA DNA sequence file. Download the examples below to compare filetypes.
Once your desired input type is selected, press the “SUBMIT” button and wait for your results.
Step 2: Wait for your results
You’ll be directed to a loading screen while your genome data is being processed.
Step 3: Interact with your genome
Once your data has been processed, explore the annotated genome interactively.
Results
Search for Genes

Step 4: Explore certain genes
Click on individual genes to view detailed annotation data.
Basic Information and Function
Selecting a gene directly on the map enables a popup that first shows you the basic information about the gene and its function
Sequences
Upon scrolling down, you can see the genes nucleotide and protein sequences.
Gene Ontology
Further, you can see the genes molecular function, biological processes and cellular components.
Additional Information
Lastly we have provided additional information that can be found about the gene, including molcular weight, UV absorbance and various amino acid contents.
Step 5: Explore gene similarity
Compare genes across your genome for homology and similarity.
Show Similarity Map
Click the ‘Show Similarity’ button to visualize relationships between genes.
Inspect Specific Gene Similarity Data
Export similarity results between specific genes by clicking on connections found on the map.
