Step 1: Select Genome Information

Set up your ideogram by selecting an organism and a representation. Representation options are: 

Cytogenetic 

Sequence 

As soon as you select an organism, a preview will be made available. To see how additional selections affect the figure, hit the 'Refresh' button at the top of the 'Ideogram Preview' window.

To request the addition of an organism, write to us.

Step 2: Set-up your layout

• How fonts are rendered: the font, size and colors can be selected.
• The layout of the chromosomes (horizontal or vertical)
• The chromosome alignments (Top, bottom or centromere aligned)
• The number of rows in the figure (1 or 2)
• The size of the chromosomes and whether band labels should be included.

Step 3: Upload your Annotations

Upload your annotation file(s) and format your annotations. You can load up to 16 annotation tracks to be displayed next to the chromosome and 1 annotation track that can be used to produce an 'overlay'. Annotation can be provided using basepair coordinates or cytogentic coordinates (see the help page for more details).

If your annotations are in sequence coordinates, upload a file that is formated in one of the following formats:

• GTF
• GFF
• GFF3
• GVF
• BED
• HGVS
