Genome Browser
A Genome Browser is a web-based tool that allows researchers to visualize and explore the genetic information of various organisms. It provides access to annotated genomic data, including gene locations, variations, and regulatory elements. Users can zoom in on specific regions of DNA and compare different species, making it easier to study genetic relationships and functions.
Popular examples of genome browsers include the UCSC Genome Browser and the Ensembl Genome Browser. These platforms aggregate data from multiple sources, enabling scientists to analyze complex genetic information and contribute to fields like genomics, medicine, and evolutionary biology.
