Genome browsers

If you are doing research in biology, you will have to know how to use the Genome browsers:
UCSC genome browser, Ensemble, and the NCBI genome browser.

See a introduction here:

I use UCSC genome browser a lot, mostly because of the rich annotation tracks. Sometimes, I go to Ensemble, it has a better view of sequences of exons and introns etc. I barely use the NCBI genome browser.

For Next Generation Sequencing analysis, you will be using some local genome browsers

IGV from Broad Institute http://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/

SeqMonk ,http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/seqmonk/ it is excellent for some quantitation analysis of ChIP-seq, RNA-seq data.

MochiView, http://johnsonlab.ucsf.edu/mochi.html
it is really good for motif analysis besides the genome browsing function.

IGB http://bioviz.org/igb/, I have not used it personally

other browsers like Gbrowser
http://gmod.org/wiki/GBrowse
 from the GMOD project is also an alternative.

  1. First of all, I would like to appreciate your efforts towards this piece of blog. This helps me a lot. Keep it up and keep sharing such posts.
    A good communication skill is really important everyone should know. When it comes to good communication skills, a person should be good at speaking english. But many people face issues in speaking English fluently, for which they take online spoken english classes to improve their English speaking skills.
