The draft sequence of the human genome has been integrated into many existing resources to facilitate biological discovery. The map below represents the interconnections between different types of public biological data available at NCBI.       Back to showcase		Sample routes We have used the example of investigating the genetic disorder adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) to show how the draft human genome provides a framework for existing biological and bibliographic information.   Where exactly is ALD in the genome?   Discover a mouse gene related to the human ALD gene   Examine the genomic context of ALD   Discover other potential human genes that are highly similar to ALD   View the intron/exon structure of ALD and similar sequences   Find genetic variations (SNPs) in ALD   Find protein domains in the ALD protein
