Alignment viewer navigation
You have multiple ways of navigating the Alignment viewer.
On the NextGENe Viewer main menu, click Search > Search Sequence to open the Search dialog box, where you can indicate how you want to search the displayed alignment – by Sequence, by Position (chromosome, chromosome position, for example, 1, 20000) or by Gene Name. You can also click Option to search by a reverse complement sequence.
You can use the toolbar icons (see NextGENe Viewer toolbar) or your mouse and some keyboard hotkeys.
