The plans and commitments of each sequencing laboratory (Table 1) are shown as color bars adjacent to schematic images of each chromosome (a). The information is taken from the HGSI athttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/HUGO/, except for chromosomes 21 and X, where the display reflects the information of the respective consortia (chromosome 21, http://www-eri.uchsc.edu/chr21/consortium.html and the X chromosome, http://www.sanger.ac.uk/HGP/ChrX/xchrom1.shtml). We are aware that there are additional plans not yet registered on the HGSI, which are not illustrated here. Clicking on the schematic ideogram displays an enlarged view of just that chromosome (b). Clicking on the left most colored bars follows links to the corresponding laboratory Web sites. Clicking on the adjacent and narrower bars follows links to map views, such as the status of the chromosome 22 map (c). From here, access can be gained to displays of the bacterial clone contigs, e.g., contig 22 in dshowing the sequence status of each clone; and from there, to displays of the sequence annotation, e.g., clone dJ434P1 in e. Images shown in c–e are live views provided via webace2, a WWW front end to ACeDB.
