The following is an example searching a human IgH nucleotide sequence (GenBank record U32602) against the Ig germline V genes database.

The first three sequences shown are the top germline V gene matches, followed by D and J gene matches. Further down the list are the rest of the germline V gene matches.

The colored balls are not displayed for the germline V gene database search. For other details, please see Example 1.
