So you've heard people talking about "Genome Browsers" but you've never used one and you're not quite sure where to start. This video is just what you've been looking for! We use the RGD’s Rat Genome Browser as an example, but much of this information is applicable to any similar "GBrowse" tool. Check this out for a quick look at "Getting started with GBrowse".

This brief video will show you:

• what kinds of information you can enter into the search box
• the correct format to search for a specific genomic region
• what results you will get when you hit “Search”
• what the results page looks like if your search parameters match more than one place on the genome
