<p>This section describes the rendering used for gene features, RNA and protein models, regulatory sites, and most other feature types. These features often derive from files formatted as BED, bigBED, GFF3, GTF, ASN.1, and similar formats.</p>
<p>Specialized rendering for <a href="/tools/sviewer/legends/#anchor_4">SNPs</a>, <a href="/tools/sviewer/legends/#anchor_5">structural variants</a>, and <a href="/tools/sviewer/legends/#anchor_6">segmental duplications</a> are described in the later sections of this documentation.</p>

<p>White arrows inside features indicate the direction of the feature relative to the top-level sequence. Grey arrows in introns (e.g. in RNA and coding region features) indicate the direction of splicing.</p>
<h3 id="anchor_1.2">1.2 Feature Display Options</h3>
<p>The track display settings dialog can be accessed by clicking on the track title, the gear icon on the right side of the track, or by selecting the track within the <strong>Tracks</strong> configuration menu. </p>
<p>Users can set the display resolution using the <strong>Rendering Options</strong> dropdown menu. By default, most feature tracks are set to "Pack features if necessary", where individual features are shown when zoomed in and the data is displayed as a histogram when zoomed out. The option "All features on a single line" alway shows the data as a histogram, while the option "All features are expanded" always shows discrete features. </p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/feature_rendering_options.png" alt="feature_rendering_options" style="width: 100%;" /></p>
<p>The <strong>Feature linking</strong> options provide different display views for tracks containing parent and child features; i.e. "Show all"; "Show parent, Merge children"; "Show children, not parent"; "Show parent, not children"; "Superimpose children on parent". Changing these options may result in showing more or fewer features in the track, depending on the underlying source of data in the track. </p>
<h4 id="121-intron-feature-display">1.2.1 Intron feature display</h4>
<p>Intron feature tracks display exon-exon splice junctions based on an analysis of RNA-seq data. The ends of the features correspond to splice junctions, while the arrow corresponds to the direction of splicing. The number of RNA-seq reads supporting the splice junction is reported for each feature. Hover over the feature to see a tooltip that provides additional information, including the end coordinates and intron length. </p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/intron_features.PNG" alt="intron_features" style="width: 100%;" /></p>
<p>Intron features tracks contain additional track display options, including the ability to sort splice junction features based on the number of spliced reads or by the splice direction (strand). Users can also simplify this track display by filtering the data based on the number of spliced reads.</p>

<h2 id="anchor_2">2. Gene Model Features</h2>
<p>Gene model features are comprised of multiple possible components: gene bar, RNA/mRNA, CDS, and exon features. </p>
<p>The track display settings dialog can be accessed by clicking on the track title, the gear icon on the right side of the track, or by selecting the track within the <strong>Tracks</strong> configuration menu. Several options may be available for NCBI or Ensembl gene annotation tracks. The option <strong>Hide non-coding</strong> will hide non-coding transcripts or non-coding genes or pseudogenes from view, so that only protein-coding transcript variants are displayed. The <strong>Hide model transcripts</strong> feature hides transcript models predicted using NCBI's <a href="/genome/annotation_euk/gnomon/">Gnomon</a> algorithm. </p>
<p>You may also have options to show only variants that are part of the <a href="/projects/CCDS/CcdsBrowse.cgi">CCDS project</a> or have been designated as the <a href="/refseq/refseq_select/">RefSeq or MANE Select</a> variant. </p>
<h3 id="anchor_2.1">2.1 Gene Model Rendering</h3>
<p>Track display settings include multiple rendering options as described below. </p>
<p>When all features are expanded, gene bars are colored green, non-coding RNAs and mRNA features are colored purple, and CDS features are colored red.</p>
<p>When transcript and CDS pairs are merged, the coding exons are rendered in dark green, and non-coding regions (i.e. 5 and 3 UTRs) are rendered in a lighter shade of green, and non-coding RNAs remain purple (See “Merge transcript and CDS pairs, no gene bar” example below). </p>
<p>When all transcripts are merged and merged features include exon portions that are present in some transcripts but missing in other transcripts, the intensity of the green coloring is proportional to the number of transcript variants that include a particular exon region (See “Merge all transcripts and CDSs, no gene bar” example below). </p>
<p>To show features annotated on the RNA or CDS, select the checkbox <strong>Show annotated protein features</strong>.</p>

<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/2.2_1_new.png" alt="Screenshot of special rendering for CDS features" /></p>
<p>In the case of non-synonymous mismatches, the discrepancy is highlighted by a combination of red colored text for the codon, the display of the alternate bases in the mRNA feature, and the display of the alternate amino acid residue in the protein feature. </p>
<p>In the case of synonymous mismatches, the discrepancy is highlighted by a combination of red colored text for the codon, and the display of the alternate bases in the mRNA feature. </p>
<p><strong>Rendering for insertions and deletions</strong></p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/2.2_2.png" alt="rendering for discrepancies between annotated refseq and genomic sequences" /></p>
<p>Deletions appear as dash marks in the corresponding mRNA and protein features and lack any display of codons or amino acids.</p>
<p>Insertions appear as a pair of inverted vertical triangles in the mRNA and protein features, and the corresponding codons and amino acids are shown; codons are colored in red. </p>
<h3 id="anchor_2.3">2.3 Feature Ruler</h3>
<p>When all features are expanded in a gene model track, selecting an RNA or CDS feature by clicking on it will reveal a feature ruler indicating the local coordinates of the feature.</p>

<p>When multiple features are selected, hairlines appear that indicate differences in structure among the different features.</p>
<h3 id="anchor_2.4">2.4 Feature Tooltip</h3>
<p>Hovering over a feature reveals a <a href="/tools/sviewer/tooltips/">tooltip</a> with additional information about that feature. The tooltip for gene, RNA, and CDS features reports the feature length, span on the assembly, and the coordinate positions where the tooltip was activated. Links to other NCBI or external resources relating to the gene or feature are also included, where available. There are also options to download the feature in FASTA or GenBank formats, send it to BLAST, or open it in its own instance of the graphical sequence viewer. More information on gene tooltips is available <a href="https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2019/02/07/improved-tooltips-genome-browsers-sequence-displays/">here</a>. </p>

<h3 id="anchor_5.1">5.1 Common Rendering</h3>
<p>There are four common scenarios for most variants (either SVs or SSVs) as shown in the table below. However, mixed cases with a defined breakpoint at one end and an undefined breakpoint range at the other end are possible as well. Here, we use (CNV SV) as examples:</p>

<h2 id="anchor_7">7. Alignments</h2>
<p>Alignment tracks contain discrete sequences aligned pair-wise to the top-level assembly. These tracks are derived from sequence alignments reported in <a href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format5.1">BAM</a> or similar formats. Assembly-assembly alignments and NCBI BLAST results are also visualized as alignment tracks in the graphical sequence view.</p>
<h3 id="anchor_7.1">7.1 Alignment Display</h3>
<p>When the <strong>Alignment Display</strong> is set to “Adaptive” (default), alignment data is represented differently at different zoom levels (Figure 7.1.1). The <strong>Alignment Display</strong> can also be set to “Packed” (always shows the coverage or pile-up view), “Ladder” (one alignment per row) and “Show all” (always shows individual alignments). These options are found in the track display settings menu (Figure 7.3.1 and Table 7.3).</p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/7.1.1.png" alt="Zoom levels 7.1.1" /></p>
<p><strong>Figure 7.1.1</strong>. View of alignments at different zoom levels when <strong>Alignment Display</strong> is set to “Adaptive”. At lower zoom levels, the alignments appear as a coverage or pile-up graphs in log 2 scale. At higher zoom levels, individual alignments become visible. Note that gaps and mismatches are colored in red. </p>
<p>At high zoom levels, alignment details become apparent. By default, matched bases and introns are colored in grey, mismatches and gaps are colored in red, and insertions are represented by blue bars (at higher zoom levels) or a blue hourglass with vertical blue bars proportional to the number of inserted bases (Figure 7.1.2). Less-than or greater-than signs (&lt; or &gt;) indicate the orientation of the alignment relative to the assembly. </p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/alignment_legend.png" alt="Alignment features 7.1.2" /></p>
<p><strong>Figure 7.1.2</strong>. Legend of alignment features. </p>
<h3 id="anchor_7.2">7.2 Alignment Tooltips</h3>
<p>Hovering the cursor over a discrete alignment reveals a <a href="/tools/sviewer/tooltips/">tooltip</a> that lists additional information about the alignment (Figure 7.2.1). Tooltips report the coverage, identity, and number of mismatches, introns, unaligned regions, and gaps in the alignment. The coverage is calculated as the number of aligned bases divided by the total length of the feature sequence, while the identity is calculated as the number of matched bases divided by the aligned length (excluding gaps or introns, with no gap penalty).</p>
<p>If available/applicable, the CIGAR string is also provided. There is also a link to the sequence FASTA of the original aligned feature. In addition, unaligned 5' and 3' nucleotides are indicated at the bottom of the tooltip and can be viewed by pressing the View button. </p>
<p>When the tooltip is generated at or next to the position of an insertion(s) in the alignment, information about the insertion is reported in the Unaligned Regions section of the tooltip. All coordinates are reported relative to the aligned feature. Up to three insertions are reported in a single tooltip. </p>
<p>The tooltip can be "pinned" using the pushpin on the top left. All information provided in the tooltip can be highlighted and copied to the clipboard. Clicking on the magnifying glass on the top resets the graphical view around the selected feature.</p>

<p><strong>Figure 7.2.1</strong>. Tooltip for an alignment feature reporting coverage, identity, and number of mismatches, gaps, and unaligned regions in the alignment. Sequence and coordinates for Unaligned Regions is available at the bottom of the tooltip. Information for insertion(s) is provided if the tooltip is generated at the position of an insertion.</p>
<h3 id="73-alignment-display-options">7.3 Alignment Display Options</h3>
<p>The track display settings can be accessed by clicking on the track title or selecting the <strong>Configure Tracks</strong> option under the <strong>Tracks</strong> button on the toolbar. The track display settings menu (Figure 7.3.1) for alignment tracks provides a variety of different display and analysis options (Table 7.3). These options may include creating a pile-up view, projecting features (Figure 7.3.5), and linking mate pairs (Figure 7.3.6). When the <strong>Show pileup</strong> option is selected, a pile-up view appears above the alignment (Figure 7.3.2). The <strong>Pileup Display</strong> dropdown menu includes options for the pile-up, including showing a match/mismatch graph (default view, Figure 7.3.2), match/mismatch table (Figure 7.3.3), or ATGC table (Figure 7.3.4). The <strong>Unaligned Tails</strong> dropdown menu includes options to show/hide unaligned tail lengths and unaligned sequences. For tracks where the metadata is available, users can also hide alignments (duplicates, bad reads) (Figure 7.3.7) or sort alignments by strand or haplotype. </p>

<p><strong>Figure 7.3.1</strong>. Track display settings for alignment tracks. </p>
<p>Additional display options are available for <a href="https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/remap/FTP-README"><strong>Assembly-assembly alignment</strong></a> tracks provided by <a href="/genome/tools/remap/docs/alignments">NCBI</a>. These tracks are comprised of first-pass and second-pass alignments, all of which will be shown by default in the view. First-pass alignments are sequences that have their reciprocal best alignment on both assemblies (reciprocity score 3). Second-pass alignments have a better alignment on one of the assemblies at another location (reciprocity score 1 or 2). The <strong>Sort Alignments</strong> dropdown menu for Assembly-assembly alignment tracks contains an additional option to sort the view of the track by reciprocity score (first-pass versus second-pass). Second-pass alignments can also be hidden from view by clicking off the check box <strong>Show second-pass alignments</strong> (checked on by default). The reciprocity score for Assembly-assembly alignment tracks is also reported in the tooltips of individual alignments. </p>

<p>For nucleotide sequences, both the primary and complementary strands are shown. 5 marks (circled in blue) at each end of the track indicate the strand orientation.</p>
<p>By default, the sequence track is located just below the ruler and the track label is hidden. The position of the track can be changed via drag and drop. </p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/8.0_1.png" alt="Sequence track" /></p>
<p>The track display setting for the sequence track is accessible in the <a href="/tools/sviewer/configpanel/">track configuration panel</a> and provides the option to show the label for this track and color gaps by gap type. </p>
<p>If the <strong>Color gaps by type</strong> checkbox is selected, the gaps will be colored according to the annotation in the corresponding INSDC access for the sequence (i.e. annotation in the GenBank flat file record). Gaps of known length will be colored purple, gaps of unknown length will be colored reddish brown, and contaminants will be colored yellow. The color will appear as an extra line above the sequence track at low/high zoom levels and as a background color at the sequence level.</p>

<h2 id="anchor_12">12. Histogram or Graph Rendering</h2>
<p>Histogram or graph representation is used to visualize data that are distributed as data counts per position. This data is often in Wig, bigWig, or bedGraph format. Data types displayed as graphs include RNA-seq, epigenomic, and conservation data. Track display settings allow users to choose among display styles ("Histogram", "Heat Map", "Line Graph") and scale ("Linear", "Log Base 10", "Log Base e", "Log Base 2").</p>
<p><img src="/core/assets/sequence-viewer/images/graph_settings.png" alt="graph display settings" /></p>
<p>By default, the value range of a histogram or line graph follows the local visible minimum and maximum values in the display. Zooming, panning, or otherwise changing the displayed region will cause the minimum and maximum values to adjust accordingly.</p>
<p>The user may select the <strong>Set Value Range</strong> option to manually control the value range in the display. This option is available when the display style is set to "Histogram" or "Line Graph" and the scale is set to "Linear". If the data provider has stipulated minimum and maximum values for the track, the <strong>Min value</strong> and <strong>Max value</strong> fields will be pre-populated with these values. The user can apply pre-populated value ranges or customize the value range manually. If the track is part of a <a href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/help/hubQuickStartGroups.html#composite">composite track group</a> from a track hub, the option is available to apply the settings in bulk to all displayed tracks in the composite group.</p>
<p>Upon applying custom minimum and maximum values, any graph data that exceeds a set value range will be clipped in the display and colored in red to alert the user. When the <strong>Set Value Range</strong> option is deselected, the value range will revert to use of the local minimum and maximum in the display.</p>

<h3 id="anchor_12.1">12.1 Track Hubs: multiWig Tracks</h3>
<p>Some track hubs include <a href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/help/trackDb/trackDbHub.html#aggregate">multiWig files</a>, which are comprised of multiple subtracks. MultiWig files are shown in the graphical display as merged graphs with each subtrack in a different color (Figure 12.1.1). The track display settings for multiWig tracks provides options to <a href="#anchor_12">adjust the scale</a> and to display subtracks in a stacked versus merged format. </p>
<p>Clicking on the subtrack legend reveals a subtrack display settings dialog (Figure 12.1.2). Users can adjust the color, opacity, and display style of individual subtracks, which are listed in a drop-down menu. There is also an option to hide individual subtracks.</p>
