New Gene Ontology Browser
The new Gene Ontology browser makes it easy to identify every gene that has been associated with a particular
function. See RNA
polymerase II transcription factor for a useful example.
CDS views on the Genome browser
The genome browser now has a CDS viewer that makes it easier to see the effect of alternative splices on the
resulting protein. We have also added forward and reverse 3-frame translation tracks.
