    1. Where do I start ?
                 1. What is done at the Sanger Institute?
                 2. Which approaches were chosen to sequence the genome?
                 3. What is the current state of the whole genome shotgun assembly project?
                 4. What is the current state of the clone mapping and sequencing project?
                 5. How do I customize Vega and Ensembl displays?
                 6. What data types are used in Vega and Ensembl?
                 7. How can I add my own data to Vega and Ensembl?

    2. How do I find my gene and what information is available for it?
                 1. How do I find my gene?
                       1. Starting with cDNA/EST/protein sequences
                       2. Starting with the gene name
                       3. Starting with a homolog
                       4. Starting with marker or genomic position (clone)
                 2. How do I get hands on the gene sequence?
                 3. How can I retrieve certain datasets?
                 4. What information is available for my gene?

    3. How do I find gene-related data ?

                 1. How do I infer the function of my gene?
                 2. Does my gene have homologs in other species?
                 3. What is the genomic context of my gene?
                 4. Are there SNPs associated with my gene?
                 5. What kind of expression data is available from Sanger?
                 6. How can I identify clones that would aid me in mapping genomic
                     clones to chromosomes?
                 7. How can I find information about and order clones that would help
                      me with my experiments?

    4. Where can I get more information and help?
