1. The RH Map hyperlinks will connect the user to the Gene Map of the Human Genome. Subsequent hyperlink on the marker will provide marker details and hyperlink to the actual Human Gene Map region (by selecting the interval defined by the Genethon Map loci intervals). Therefore the user can rapidly obtain information on ESTs that have been mapped using radiation hybrid panels.
2. The Method hyperlinks will place the user within the OMIM database at the appropriate chromosome band. This will allow the user to examine cloned genes and mapped phenotypes (disease loci) in the relavent region of the genome.
3. The Human Genome symbol will connect the user to the OMIM description for the selected locus.
4. The Mouse Chromosome will connect the user to the mouse chromosome in the homology database. This feature can be of some use in examining adjacent homology groups and discerning certain putative evolutionary relationships between chromosomal arrangements in the human and mouse genomes.
5. Selecting the Mouse Gene symbol hyperlinks to the Mouse Genome Database.
6. Mouse locus will provide a link to a locus ordered map in the Mouse Chromosome Committee Reports. It will allow the user to rapidly determine useful microsatellite and other genetic markers in the homologous region. Of perhaps more importance it also provides a link to mapped mouse phenotypes including quantitative trait loci. This feature is not yet available.
7. Cross: hyperlinks to the Seldin Backcross Mapping Panel data.
8. HG will provide a hyperlink to matched annotated human and mouse putative orthologues in a given homology group. This feature is provides information on matched putative orthologues when a gene or EST has been mapped in one species but not in the other. This feature is not yet available.
