All of chromosome 17. Generally, people work at smaller scales than this, but the browser is capable of displaying all of the annotations on a chromosome in a reasonable time. The centromere is depicted in red in the chromosome band track. The coverage track shows finished regions in black and draft regions in various shades of gray depending on the depth of coverage. There are two large gene deserts in chromosome bands q22 and q24.3. Tracks based on mRNAs, ESTs, and homology withTetraodon all are quite sparse in these regions, though there is still quite a bit of mouse homology.
