PeptideAtlas:Chromosomal coverage

From SPCTools

When using the Browse Proteins function in PeptideAtlas, one can generate a graphical depiction of the chromosomal coverage for an atlas build.

Listing proteins

In order to get such a depiction, one must restrict the listing to proteins from only a single chromosome.

Interpreting the graphical depiction

The graphical depiction has a title bar and five tracks of information. The title bar shows which chromosome is being viewed, and what portion of the chromosome is shown. The five informational tracks are from top to bottom "Protein Location", "Chromosome Length", "Karyotypic Banding", "Genes covered by PeptideAtlas", and "Gene Location". "Chromosome Length" is a ruler so that you can know at which base pair a protein or gene is located. "Karyotypic Banding" shows a similar relationship, except with chromosomal banding instead base pairs. The other three tracks depict the location of proteins, genes, and those genes that contain a PeptideAtlas protein.
