VCMap Query Help

The VCMap algorithm generates an Anchor File containing the inter-species homology data, from which the various comparative maps are generated. There are two options provided to search the anchor file data:

Generate reports based on VCMap Build:
Option 1. Query by Marker
Marker symbol, Unigene or Accession ID
If marker is mapped, display bin report for the region between and cR [optional]
 
 
 
Option 2. View Chromosome Region Report
Backbone Map Species
Chromosome
Display region between and [optional]
 

Back VCMap Data Query Instructions

The VCMap build generates an Anchor File containing the inter-species homology data from which the various comparative maps are generated. There are two options provided to search the build data:

  • Option 1 allows you to query the anchor file to generate reports for an individual marker [ VCMap Help on Individual Marker Report ].
  • Option 2 displays the Chromosomal Region Report plus Bin and Stream Prediction Reports based on a specified backbone species for all or part of a given chromosome [VCMap Help]. Either distances or marker names can be entered to define the displayed region. Entering a single marker name will display the region +/- 50cR from the marker.

Both of these forms can run off different builds of the VCMap anchor file, selectable using the drop down menu at the top of the form. Currently only Build 5.0 is available online.
