GenBrowser

GenBrowser is a web-based platform developed by GenBrowser that offers gene annotation visualization and exploration capabilities for researchers and biologists. It enables the users to visualize and compare gene structure annotations and annotations available in public databases, such as RefSeq, Ensembl, and UCSC.

The platform is user-friendly, and it can be utilized by biologists with little-to-no programming experience. GenBrowser has a built-in search function to retrieve and display genes of interest quickly. The tool can also zoom in and out of gene models to enable closer examination of exonic, intronic, or intergenic regions. In addition, it provides the ability to search for homologous genes from different organisms and compare gene orthology relationships with respect to the selected gene.

One of the unique features of GenBrowser is that it enables users to upload their own custom annotation data. Custom annotation data can be displayed alongside or in parallel with publicly available annotations, allowing researchers to compare and validate their data more efficiently. The platform allows users to browse private genomic data securely.

GenBrowser provides a comprehensive solution for researchers and biologists interested in studying genomic data while having full control over their annotations by allowing them to easily upload custom annotations.
