UTGB Medaka User Manual

​The University of Tokyo Medaka Genome Browser (UTGB Medaka) is a web-based database browser, which provides various information related to medaka genomes, including assembly sequences, genes, clones, homologus genome sequences to other species, etc.

The distinctive features of ​UTGB Medaka are as follows:

• Highly-sophisticated web interface with drag & drop and resize supports of database tracks.
  • In UTGB Medaka, we aggressivly incorporated the latest web application technologies, called AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript? + XML), to enhance the user experience. In the traditional web applications, it was impossible to support drag & drop, or resize of displayed windows without frustration due to frequent page reloading. But in UTGB, these operations can be performed quite smoothly.

• Keyword search engine, which quickly locates your interested sequence positions.
• 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.
