Gene annotations track

Gene annotations show where genes are located on a given genome. When zoomed in, the full exon-intron structure is shown. Because genes can be transcribed into numerous isoforms, we calculate an overlapping union of the known exons for each gene and display that. More details can be found on the Displaying gene annotations wiki page.

Available options

plusStrandColor and minusStrandColor

The colors for the annotations on each strand can be changed via the + Strand Color and - Strand Color configuration options in the Configure Series menu.

Annotations are tiled and require a server and tilesetUid. The labelPosition option can either be omitted or set to hidden if no label is desired.
