WebWise: Guide to the Stanford Human Genome Center and the Whitehead/MIT Genome Center Web Sites

The red circles indicate features that are available at this web site or the quality of a given feature within a general range of better (a) to worse (f). Sequence data are assessed for their availability from an FTP site, availability in a database (such as ACEDB), whether archived sequences are linked directly to the public database records, the frequency of update, and whether any sequence annotation is provided in either a text or graphic format. Each web site is scored for the availability of various search services, including the ability to carry out similarity searches against the sequences in their database or perform a key word search of the map data, sequence data, or web site. Documentation and availability of software tools are also indicated.
