    55The distinctive features of [http://utgenome.org/UTGBMedaka UTGB Medaka] are as follows:
    66 * Highly-sophisticated web interface with '''drag & drop''' and '''resize''' supports of database tracks.
    7    * In UTGB Medaka, we aggressivly incorporated the latest web application technologies, including [http://code.google.com/webtoolkit Google Web Tooklits (GWT)], to enhance the user experience. Traditional web applications have to redraw the entire page in order to move or resize some components within the displayed page, which requires frustrating page reloading. But in UTGB, drag & drop and resize operations can be performed quite smoothly, since we can relocate components (such as tracks) in a page locally, that is without page reloading, using JavaScript engine implemented in the modern web browsers (e.g., IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.)

The modern web browsers (e.g., IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.) already have JavaScript engine,  so you can use UTGB Medaka immediately.

    99 * '''Quick responce''' via AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML) technology. AJAX is a kind of back-ground internet connection, which can utilize the idle network while you are viewing a page. For example, our keyword search engine can quickly shows your interested sequence positions from inputted keywords, e.g. gene names, clones, EnsembleID, GO:Id, etc.
    1010 
    11  * Your configuration, such as a set of displayed tracks, track frame sizes, etc. can be saved as a file on your PC, and you can restore the browser state from the saved file.
     11 * '''Customizable views''': Your configuration, such as a set of displayed tracks, track frame sizes, etc. can be saved as a file on your PC, and you can restore the browser state from the saved file.
