Exploring a genomic region in chicken
(a) Go to the region from 38,111,022-38,265,293 on chicken chromosome 5. How many contigs make up this portion of the assembly (contigs are contiguous stretches of DNA sequence that have been assembled solely based on direct sequencing information)?
(b) Zoom in on ESRRB gene.
(c) Turn on the RefSeq GFF3 annotation track as Expanded with labels.
(d) Save this image in PDF format.
(a) Go to the Ensembl homepage.
Select Search: Chicken and type 5:38111022-38265293 in the text box (or alternatively leave the Search drop-down list like it is and type Chicken 5:38111022-38265293 in the text box). Click Go.
This genomic region is made up of one contig indicated by the dark blue coloured bar in the Contigs track.
(b) Drag a box around the ESRRB gene and click on Jump to region.
(c) Click on Configure this page on the left. Type RefSeq GFF3 annotation in the Find a track box. Turn the RefSeq GFF3 annotation track on and select Expanded with labels style. Save and close the menu.
(d) Click on the Export this image icon above the image and then on the Download button to download the image in PDF format.
