How many different genome browsers are there?

Table of Contents

Currently, there are two types of web-based genome browsers. The first type is the multiple-species genome browsers implemented in, among others, the UCSC genome database [5], the Ensembl project [6], the NCBI Map viewer website [7], the Phytozome and Gramene platforms [8].

What is human genome browser?

The UCSC Genome Browser is a web-based tool serving as a multi-powered microscope that allows researchers to view all 23 chromosomes of the human genome at any scale from a full chromosome down to an individual nucleotide.

Why is UCSC a genome browser?

The UCSC Genome Browser allows the user to display different kinds of conservation data. The user can select from different tracks including primates, vertebrates, mammals among others, and see how the gene sequence they searched is conserved amongst other species.

What is the best Genome Browser?

Which of the following is a multiple species genome browser?

Among the best known are the UCSC Genome Browser, Ensembl Genome Browser and NCBI’s Genome Data Viewer. These genome browsers may support multiple genomes, however, other genome browsers may be specific for particular species.

Is NCBI a genome browser?
