Subject: What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#3, 2007)


What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#3, 2007): 

o An "align" box is added to the Animal QTLdb for bringing up the 
   QTL/linkage maps against various genomic data types such SNPs, 
   new microsatellites, FPC clones, microarray elements, array elements 
   etc.  This is an alternative to clicking on individual QTL bars as 
   the Java code may not work on some browser versions. 
   Example URL: 
   http://www.animalgenome.org/cgi-bin/QTLdb/SS/draw_chromap?chromos=11 

o Frequently asked questions on Animal QTLdb is updated with three more 
   items.  These new items are to provide hints on how to "zoom", how to 
   get a "manageable chromosomal view", etc. 
   URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/faq.html 

o Data update into QTLdb: A new PubMed search tool is recently added 
   to the Curator/Editor tools, with which a curator can easily bring 
   a new publication into the database for curation upon review. 

   For new QTL data that are not covered by PubMed, we encourage users 
   to inform us the new data source, or better yet, you can register 
   to be a curator and enter the new QTL data yourself

o Minor allele frequencies are shown for SNPs aligned on cattle QTL maps 
   URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/cgi-bin/QTLdb/BT/link_genom2snp?chromos=1 
   [NOTE: Access from the QTL maps -- please choose the SNP alignment to 
   "bovine genome"] 

o A new bulletin form is created within the AnGenMap membership management 
   tool set, for members to easily submit their post to the AnGenMap mailing 
   list, especially for those who encounter repeated listserv complains 
   about having "HTML" or "attachments" in your email and are frustrated as 
   how to correct the problem. 
   URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/cgi-bin/angenmap/angendir 

o The AnGenMap FAQ is updated with more answers to questions.  Hopefully 
   users will find the information helpful for easily use the AnGenMap.
