Alignments to Genome
GmGDB displays high quality spliced alignments for EST, cDNA, PUT, and model species proteins.
More about alignments...
- Transcript sequences displayed at GmGDB were aligned to genomic sequence using GeneSeqer, which performs a consensus spliced alignment on ESTs and cDNA, providing both cognate and non-cognate alignments for improved gene prediction (Brendel et al., 2004).
- Related-species predicted proteins were aligned to genomic sequence using GenomeThreader (Gremme et al., 2005).
- Microarray probes (if any) were matched to the PUT assembly sequence using Vmatch and then coordinately transfered to genomic location.

Gene Structure Annotation
Help annotate the
Glycine max genome using our yrGATE gene structure annotation tool (
see Overview), aided by
GAEVAL tables that flag problematic gene models.

Custom Track Display
Distributed Annotation Service (DAS) (
see Overview) is available for displaying remotely served genome alignments at GmGDB, as well as for displaying selected GmGDB tracks on a different genome browser (e.g. Ensembl, GBrowse).
How to use DAS...
To add a DAS track to GmGDB using our DAS client, first select desired genome coordinates above and click "Go", then select menu item "Configure -> Add Track" and paste in the appropriate DAS URL.
To view GmGDB tracks in another genome browser (e.g. Ensembl, Gbrowse) using our DAS server, first find the appropriate xDAS Server URL on our DAS overview page, then follow instructions on the remote browser website for adding the remote track. NOTE: DAS service available for certain tracks only.
For more details, refer to DAS section in our Genome Browser help pages.
Additional custom track display features are under development.
