Genome and annotation tracks¶
Genome track¶
The genome track shows:
the current genomic axis
coordinate ticks
base letters when zoomed in enough
annotation features over the genome
At close zoom, individual bases can be drawn directly on the reference track.
Annotation track¶
The annotation track shows genome features in a dedicated lane above the genome track.
This is useful when you want a cleaner feature view without the genome-axis overlay.
Multi-exon features¶
For multi-exon genes:
the annotation track shows separate exon blocks connected across the intron
the genome track shows full-height exons with reduced-height introns between them
This makes exon structure visible at a glance.
Interaction¶
You can:
click features to select them
double-click features to activate them
double-click empty space to recenter the view
Selected features can be inspected in the right-hand panel.
