Genome Browsers
Description:
This course describes how to use different publicly available genome browsers such as UCSC genome browser, MapViewer and Ensembl. Used to view the assembly of the complete human genome, these browsers are valuable tools to identify and localize genes and to obtain information about them. This course will demonstrate how to view different human genome maps/tracks and make best use of them.
