to starting a genomic analysis. These include literature searching, searching databases for gene names and other genomic features, performing sequence comparisons, or using map data to find gene information by position relative to other landmarks. The NCBI Map Viewer has been developed to facilitate this latter approach.</p><p>The purpose of this chapter is to provide a foundation for gaining maximum benefit from using the Map Viewer and related resources at NCBI. It is important to note that in this document, the term “map” refers to a position of a particular type of object in a particular coordinate system. This means, for example, that there is not one sequence map but a set of maps in sequence coordinates. Readers interested in precisely how sequence-based maps are annotated and assembled should refer to <a href="/books/n/handbook/ch14/?report=reader">Chapter 14</a>.</p></div><div id="A1677"><h2 id="_A1677_">Introduction</h2><p>First launched with the release of the sequence of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> in March 2000, Map Viewer is now used to present genetic, radiation hybrid (RH), cytogenetic, breakpoint, sequence-based, and clone maps for many genomes. The availability of whole genome sequences means that objects such as genes, markers, clones, sites of variation, and clone boundaries can be positioned by aligning defining sequence from these objects against the genomic sequence. This position information can then be compared to information about order obtained by other means, such as genetic or physical mapping. The results of sequence-based queries (e.g., BLAST) can also be viewed in genomic context. Our view of the genomes of a variety of organisms is constantly being improved through the increase in underlying data.</p><p>Map Viewer integrates map and sequence data from a variety of sources. The basic architecture and principle of Map Viewer can be applied to any complete or incomplete genome as long as map data exist to support it. Map Viewer is a powerful tool because it provides: (1) a mechanism to compare maps in different coordinate systems; (2) a robust query interface; (3) diverse options for configuring the display; (4) multiple functions to report and download maps and annotated information; (5) tools to manipulate nucleotide sequence such as ModelMaker (for constructing mRNAs from putative exon sequences); (6) connections to comprehensive data files for transfer by FTP; and (7) detailed descriptions of the objects displayed on the maps.</p></div><div id="A1563"><h2 id="_A1563_">Maintenance of Data</h2><div id="A1564"><h3>Data Sources</h3><p>

<b>Non-Sequence-based Maps.</b> Sources of maps that are not based directly on sequence include published maps in genetic, radiation hybrid, cytogenetic, and ordinal coordinate systems (where ordinal refers to clone order). The primary sources of each map are described in the online help documentation of each genome-specific Map Viewer. We are indebted to the researchers who make their mapping results so freely available. When a new version of any map becomes available, the data are also updated in the appropriate NCBI database.</p><p>

|
<b>Sequence-based Maps.</b> The sequence-based maps shown through Map Viewer can be supplied by external sources and/or supplied from features computed within NCBI. For example, when the annotated sequence for a complete genome is submitted to the sequence databases (GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ), a copy of the data may also be accessioned as Reference Sequences (RefSeqs; see <a href="/books/n/handbook/ch18/?report=reader">Chapter 18</a>). The gene, transcript, and other feature annotations of the submitted complete genome are processed for display in the Map Viewer. NCBI staff may then calculate and display the position of other types of features, such as marker position or points of variation, as separate maps (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/table/A1565/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1565" rid-ob="figobA1565">Table 1</a>).

This latter type of annotation is based on information in several NCBI databases (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/table/A1566/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1566" rid-ob="figobA1566">Table 2</a>) and is particularly important for attaching biological information to sequence data. Links to these resources are provided in Map Viewer to provide further information about each annotated object. It should be noted, however, that although sequence features may be placed in a genomic context automatically, there are curation steps that affect the final displays. For example, for the human and mouse genomes, sequences defining genes and pseudogenes are reviewed by collaborators and NCBI staff and, whenever possible, used as the basis of RefSeq records (NG, NM, and NR Accession number format).

In some genomes, gene placement is based primarily on the alignment of mRNA [Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) and cDNAs], but only when an encoded protein is predicted. In other cases, where transcription evidence is weaker, more weight is given to identification of protein-coding regions. Gene identification is also constrained in that a known gene cannot be placed more than once in a haplotype (except for pseuodo-autosomal regions) or on an incorrect chromosome. Thus, if any reference haplotype retains inappropriately redundant sequence that encodes a gene, only one copy will be annotated as that gene. Others will be assigned interim IDs (see <a href="/books/n/handbook/ch14/?report=reader">Chapter 14</a>). Some <i>ab initio</i> methods may also be used for gene prediction. The predicted genes, as well as the mRNAs, are supplied as separate maps (gene, RNA, or <a href="/books/n/handbook/A1237/?report=reader#app64">GenomeScan</a> maps).</p><p>In some cases, the position of these features may suggest the location of other genomic regions of interest. For example, the position of STS markers can help define the position of phenotypes such as quantitative trait loci (QTL). Although the best annotation of a gene or region is always through annotation by an expert researcher, automated annotation of genomes and comparison to that provided by experts can provide significant useful information.

This is accomplished by: (<i>a</i>) identifying features that have been placed on maps in different coordinate systems; and (<i>b</i>) using general conversion factors. In the first case, placement of STSs on the genome is critical for the integration of sequence data with other, non-sequence-based maps, such as genetic and RH maps. The integration of cytogenetic data with sequence data is achieved through alignment of sequence from clones that have been placed cytogentically, such as the human fluorescence <i>in situ</i> hybridization (FISH)-mapped clones from the Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) Resource Consortium (<a class="bibr" href="#A1626" rid="A1626">2</a>). The integration of non-sequence-based maps with the sequence provides a powerful mechanism to access portions of sequence on the basis of marker or cytogenetic data. Many features, such as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), ESTs, mRNAs, whole genome shotgun reads, and clones can be placed on the genome assembly by using standard DNA sequence alignment methods such as BLAST.</p><p>The identification of known genes within the genome assembly provides critical landmarks and functional context to the sequence data, which in turn makes it easier to traverse to other rich sources of gene and protein information, including publications, OMIM, RefSeq, Conserved Domain Database (CDD), and LocusLink.</p><p>The power of calculating correspondances between coordinate systems may be more apparent when considering a common application of Map Viewer, i.e., identifying candidate genes within a region defined by genetic markers. When markers are palced on both genetic and sequence maps, it is then possible to use the gene-related maps (gene, UniGene/EST, or <i>ab initio</i> predictions) to identify possible genes of interest. For more details on how to do this, see the Map Viewer Exercises in <a href="/books/n/handbook/ch24/?report=reader">Chapter 24</a>.</p></div><div id="A1568"><h3>A Work in Progress</h3><p>For many genomes, identifying and positioning chromosomes and genes within sequence blocks is an ongoing process. In those cases, the Map Viewer can be used to evaluate the evidence that supports the current representation of the sequence and visualize possible conflicts. Inconsistencies in map order or in the placement of any object can be seen in the Map Viewer; this is assisted in some cases by the use of color coding (Figures <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1569/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1569" rid-ob="figobA1569">1</a> and <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1570/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1570" rid-ob="figobA1570">2</a>).

Thus, mRNA or other supporting evidence that becomes available after the data “freeze” date for one build will not be incorporated into the display until the next build. However, some of the supporting databases linked from the Map Viewer may have more updated information. For example, UniSTS may provide more recent e-PCR results, or LocusLink may show a newer name or additional sequence data. dbSNP may make major data releases between builds; in this case, the variation map is updated.</p></div></div><div id="A1573"><h2 id="_A1573_">Methods of Access</h2><p>Although most of this chapter discusses the human genome Map Viewer, there is a growing number of organisms for which there is Map Viewer access to the genome. To identify the taxa that have Map Viewer access to the genome, query the taxonomy database by typing “loprovmapviewer”[filter] into the query box on the Entrez Taxonomy <a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Taxonomy" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">homepage</a>; or more simply, review the options provided on the Map Viewer <a href="/mapview/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">homepage</a>.</p><div id="A1574"><h3>Links from NCBI Resources</h3><p>Many NCBI databases are now integrated into Map Viewer (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/table/A1566/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1566" rid-ob="figobA1566">Table 2</a>); therefore, database records are often linked to Map Viewer displays. If a sequence in the public databases was released before the date of the current Map Viewer data freeze, then the position of this sequence may be displayed within Map Viewer. For example, Entrez Nucleotide, UniGene, UniSTS, and <a href="/gene/793" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=entrez&targetcat=link&targettype=gene">LocusLink</a> records for sequences annotated on the human genome provide links directly to the appropriate region of the genome via links called <b>Map Viewer</b> (in the <b>Links</b> menu), <b>Nucleotide</b>, <b>Map View</b>, or <b>mv</b> links, respectively (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1575/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1575" rid-ob="figobA1575">Figure 4</a>). It should be noted that such links are only precomputed if at least 50% of the sequence aligns with an identity of greater than 90%.

For example, a query for ABC* will return matches to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily.</p><p>The advanced query page, accessed by checking the <b>Advanced search</b> box, provides additional options to refine a query. These additional options, which may vary from genome to genome, are useful for restricting queries to a particular search field or map type. The advanced query page also includes predefined search options to restrict the search to data with certain properties, e.g., to only find genes associated with a known disease or with sequence variation (SNPs). Additional refinements to queries against the variation map can also be made, for example, to search for variation markers known to be in a gene or coding region.</p><p>The same options for wild cards and Boolean operators for your query term(s) apply when starting at the Map Viewer <a href="/mapview" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">homepage</a>.

This could be a numerical range (base pairs are the default if no units are entered), the names of clones, genes, markers, SNPs, or any combination. The screen will be refreshed with only that region shown. If the first entry cannot be resolved, the display will extend to the top of the map; if the second entry cannot be resolved, the display will extend to the bottom of the map. Both of these navigational aids are found on the left of the page; and (2) using the <b>Maps & Options</b> controls. One of the options in this menu is to define the region shown. Here it may be clearer that the region selected will be in the coordinates of the rightmost, or Master, map, which may also be adjusted in this menu. The values that can be used to specify the range are the same as those described in (1), above. (See <i>Customizing the Display</i> for more details on fine-tuning.)</p><p>Tutorials in Chpater 23, particularly #2, provide more examples of querying Map Viewer by position.</p></div></div></div><div id="A1583"><h2 id="_A1583_">Interpreting the Display</h2><div id="A1584"><h3>Map Viewer Summary Results</h3><p>The results from a query are displayed both graphically and in a summary table (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1585/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1585" rid-ob="figobA1585">Figure 8</a>).

<p>A thumbnail map on the left of the page provides a coarse indication of the region displayed; by default, this is a cytogenetic map, although the Master Map can be selected (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1752/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1752" rid-ob="figobA1752">Figure 9b</a>).</p><p>Maps are displayed vertically, with the name of each map hyperlinked to a description of it (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1752/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1752" rid-ob="figobA1752">Figure 9d</a>). Features displayed on the Master Map have brief descriptive labels; information on features on the non-Master Maps can be found by mousing over an object. The labels on the Master Map depend on the type of object and genome being explored but can provide: (<i>a</i>) links to resources defining the mapped element, some of which may not be at NCBI; (<i>b</i>) indicators of the confidence in the placement or naming or sequence in the region; (<i>c</i>) biological features of the element (for SNPs, this includes position in a gene or effects on the coding region); (<i>d</i>) direction of transcription for genes; and (<i>e</i>) links to tools to facilitate reviewing of the sequence (<b>sv</b>), downloading a subsequence of interest (<b>seq</b>), the mRNA alignments in a region (<b>ev</b>), homology maps (<b>hm</b>), or to create cDNA sequences in real time (<b>mm</b>). (See the section on <i>Associated Tools</i> for more information.).</p></div><div id="A1593"><h5>Sequence (BLAST) Queries</h5><p>The positions of BLAST hits are highlighted on the Contig map, and a text summary of the BLAST hit is provided with links to regional alignment reports. All of the options described previously for configuring your display are still available. Thus, it is possible to evaluate the sequence match by the location (possible intron/exon structure, percent identity) as well as to determine whether the matching genomic region contains all of the query sequence in the expected order. Adding other maps to the display using the <b>Maps&Options</b> window provides a powerful mechanism to determine how the query sequence corresponds to existing annotation, such as genes, gene predictions, STS markers, or SNPs. For more hints, see the tutorial section on querying the human genome by sequence.</p></div></div><div id="A1594"><h4>The Tabular Display (View Data as Table/Download)</h4><p>A tabular report of the region and maps being displayed can be generated by selecting the <b>Data as Table View</b> link (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/figure/A1752/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1752" rid-ob="figobA1752">Figure 9b</a>).

Most menu-based zooms should be carried out in two or three steps to avoid missing the region of interest. It is also possible to scroll or reposition the display by selecting <b>recenter</b> from the menu that pops up when you click on the chromosome diagram at the left or on a map or by clicking on the arrows at the top and bottom of a map.</p></div><div id="A1597"><h3>Selecting the Maps (Tracks) to Display</h3><p>Maps are categorized by the coordinate system as well as type of feature. The maps available for a genome can be seen by scrolling through the <b>Maps</b> menu in the <b>Maps&Options</b> window or in the genome-specific help documentation. For display and query purposes, different types of features annotated on sequence coordinates are treated as different maps. The maps in sequence coordinates are comparable because all of the sequence maps are based on the reference to a standard genome assembly. Thus, one can display the SNP map (at high zoom level) next to the Gene, UniGene, or GenomeScan map to ascertain the number and location of polymorphisms in a region.</p><p>Some basic map controls are available directly on the display including removal of a map from the display by clicking on the <b>X</b> over the map and moving a secondary map to the Master Map position by clicking on the arrow next to the map label.</p><p>The <b>Maps&Options</b> window provides advanced options to: (<i>a</i>) add a ruler to any map; (<i>b</i>) reset the page length to display more (or less) information; (<i>c</i>) define region to display by providing coordinates or marker name in <b>Region Shown</b> boxes (also available directly on the Map Viewer display); (<i>d</i>) display direct connections between maps by checking the <b>Show connections</b> box; (<i>e</i>) optionally view text in <b>Verbose</b> or <b>Condensed</b> mode by selecting the checkbox. These user-defined preferences will be maintained for additional queries on different regions or chromosomes, until reset.</p><p>There has been considerable effort to integrate data on the sequence-based maps with data from non-sequence-based maps. Map connections provide a unique and powerful mechanism to identify features in a relevant region of the sequence map when starting with information from a different coordinate system (see <i>Relationships among Coordinate Systems</i>).</p><p>The features that are available with Map Viewer are summarized in <a href="/books/NBK21089/box/A1598/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobA1598">Box 1</a>.

Whenever a sequence-based map is the master (the one at the right), the link <b>Download/View Sequence/Evidence</b> is provided above the map display. This opens a window that provides access to the <b>seq</b>, <b>ev</b>, and <b>mm</b> tools described below. In addition, when the annotated object is a gene (sequence or cytogenetic maps) or the species-specific UniGene cluster, the label may include these links.</p><p>The Evidence Viewer (<b>ev</b>) displays graphically the GenBank and RefSeq cDNAs that align to the genome in a particular region, along with a density plot for ESTs. The positions of any mismatches or insertions/deletions are marked, the multiple pairwise sequence alignments are provided, and computed translations are shown.</p><p>The Sequence Viewer (<b>sv</b>) is the Entrez graphical display option for any nucleotide sequence, focused on the gene indicated. By default, a 2-kb section of sequence is shown below the representation of the features, but that limit can be increased at the bottom of the page. It is also possible to zoom and navigate in the display.</p><p>Sequence Download (<b>seq</b>) provides the same function as the <b>Download/View Sequence</b> link provided at the top of the Maps page. The scope of the sequence passed to the tool corresponds to what is being viewed on the page. When connected to a gene feature, the scope corresponds to that gene. The tool allows the user to alter the sequence scope and to select a report format (e.g., FASTA, GenBank, ASN.1). For the human and mouse genomes, a link is also provided to the Human–Mouse Homology Map (<b>hm</b>).</p><p>Model Maker (<b>mm</b>) displays the evidence for exons in a genomic region by diagramming the exons predicted from the alignment of cDNAs, from <i>ab initio</i> models (the default), and from alignment of ESTs (after an explicit selection). To facilitate construction of your own model transcript or transcripts, the splice junctions and the exons they connect are displayed, and the coding potential of any combination of exons can quickly be evaluated using ORFfinder. The sequence can also be edited, and the results can be saved or downloaded.</p></div><div id="A1613"><h2 id="_A1613_">Technical Details</h2><div id="A1614"><h3>Data Access</h3><p>The data displayed in Map Viewer are freely available. In addition to the view-specific reports, all of the data are available by <a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/[genome_name]/maps/mapview/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=ftp">FTP</a>. README files document the content and format of each file. Genomic data are also available by <a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/[genome%20name]/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=ftp">chromosome</a>; this includes genomic contigs (NT_ or NW_ Accession numbers) built from finished and unfinished sequence data.

Also available in this directory are the RNAs (NM_, XM_ , and XR_ Accession numbers) and proteins (NP_, XP_).</p></div><div id="A1615"><h3>Constructing URLs to Generate Specific Displays</h3><p>Dynamic links to Map Viewer can be generated by constructing URLs with arguments that define the species, chromosome, range, types of maps (with or without units), display order, number of labels, query string, how to center a display around a query result, and the type of label for the display. The most current documentation is provided in the <a href="/PMGifs/Genomes/MapViewerHelp.html#URLs" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">online help</a>. The examples in <a href="/books/NBK21089/box/A1616/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobA1616">Box 2</a>, however, may illustrate the flexibility of the approach. Please note that the argument of the map in the URL is processed as an ordered list, with the order in the list controlling the left-to-right order in the display. Additional qualifiers control the display of a ruler and the range on the chromosome. If a query term is included as a part of the URL and that value cannot be identified on any of the maps in the list, that map will not be displayed.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col boxed-text" id="figA1616"><a href="/books/NBK21089/box/A1616/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Box 2" class="img_link icnblk_img" rid-ob="figobA1616"><img class="small-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/css/bookshelf/2.26/img/box-icon.gif" alt="Box Icon" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="A1616"><a href="/books/NBK21089/box/A1616/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobA1616">Box 2</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Examples of URL construction. </p></div></div></div><div id="A1617"><h3>Implementation</h3><p>Query terms are indexed for retrieval using the Entrez system. Thus, wild cards, Boolean operators, filters, and properties are managed as for other Entrez databases.</p><p>Each distinct object on the map is assigned a unique identifier that is specific to a particular build. Each object may have other secondary identifiers, such as IDs, in the sequence, Clone Repository, dbSNP, LocusLink, UniGene, or UniSTS databases. All descriptors are indexed as text. In addition, some are indexed by specific field values or by pre-identified properties, such as genes with associated diseases, SNPs with heterozygosity values in pre-defined ranges, or evidence type for genes. These field names or properties can be applied to restrict a query either in the Web-based query form or within a URL. The complete listings of current implementations for field qualifiers and properties are provided in the online help documentation.</p><p>Data for each map are retrieved for display from a relational database based on the IDs returned from the Entrez query. The database is used only to support display; it is refreshed with each NCBI build or update of any other map but not to track changes from build to build. Data from previous builds are archived at NCBI, but direct access is not currently supported.</p></div></div><div id="A1618"><h2 id="_A1618_">Caveats for Using Evolving Data</h2><p>Map Viewer displays represent the current synthesis of information available at the time of the data freeze (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK21089/table/A1623/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figA1623" rid-ob="figobA1623">Table 3</a>).

(<i>a</i>) The marker D1S2894 is found on several maps. Note that for the first map (<i>STS</i>), the circle is diagonally split with two colors. The diagonal means that the marker has been placed more than once; the two colors mean that the placements are not on the same chromosome. (<i>b</i>) A Map Viewer display of a region of chromosome 16. SNPs that are placed more than once on the chromosome are designated by a <i>yellow triangle</i>. From the <i>Contig</i> map, it appears that at least one of these SNPs (<a href="/snp/?term=3220808" class="bk_tag" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=entrez&targetcat=term&targettype=snp">rs3220808</a>) is placed both on draft sequence (<i>orange</i>) and on finished sequence (<i>blue</i>). This may be an artifact resulting from misassembly or perhaps a region of segmental duplication. This diagram also illustrates the use of color to indicate the source and level of confidence in annotated genes. <i>Blue</i> indicates a confirmed gene with no conflicts; <i>light green</i> indicates EST evidence only; <i>dark brown</i> indicates a GenomeScan prediction with protein homology; <i>orange</i> means that there is a conflict between the annotated gene and the mRNA evidence. (<i>Ab initio</i> predictions from GenomeScan are categorized into two types, based on presence or absence of sequence similarity to vertebrate proteins or protein domains.)</p></div></div></article><article data-type="fig" id="figobA1575"><div id="A1575" class="figure bk_fig"><div class="graphic"><img data-src="/books/NBK21089/bin/ch20f6.jpg" alt="Figure 4.

(<i>c</i>) When a result is returned as the result of a link, the data in the <b>Match</b> column of the table begin with <b>linked to</b>. The complete results for a particular chromosome can be displayed by selecting the name of the chromosome on the graphical portion of the display or selecting <b>all matches</b> in the summary table. The number of matches per chromosome is reported under each chromosome in the graphical overview, and the total number of results returned is indicated below that. Additional pages are provided if the query returns over 100 results. The table indicates the chromosomal location, the match found, the map element returned, the type of match found, and the specific map(s) that contains the query match. Only the first 40 characters are shown in the <i>Match</i> column, and therefore the portion of text that matches the query may not be displayed. All maps that contain any object are viewed by selecting the name of the object in the <i>Map element</i> column. To see only one map, select the name of that map. In some cases, the resultant display will contain related maps in the same sequence coordinates. For example, selecting a sequence-based gene map may result in the display of mRNA alignments, labeled with UniGene cluster designations, and <i>ab initio</i> predictions.</p></div></div></article><article data-type="fig" id="figobA1752"><div id="A1752" class="figure bk_fig"><div class="graphic"><img data-src="/books/NBK21089/bin/ch20f9.jpg" alt="Figure 9.
