通用模型生物系统数据库项目（GMOD）寻求为模型生物系统数据库开发可重用的软件组件。在本文中，我们描述了通用基因组浏览器（GBrowse），一个基于web的应用程序，用于显示基因组注释和其他功能。对于最终用户，浏览器的功能包括滚动和缩放任意基因组区域的能力，通过搜索地标或执行所有特征的全文搜索进入基因组区域的能力，以及启用和禁用轨道以及更改其相对顺序和外观的能力。用户可以上传私有注释，以便在公共注释的上下文中查看它们，并将这些注释发布到社区。对于数据提供者来说，浏览器软件的特性包括依赖于现成的开放源代码组件、简单的安装、灵活的配置以及与模型生物系统Web站点的其他组件的容易集成。GBrowse是在开源许可下免费提供的。该软件及其文档和支持可在http://www.gmod.org上获得。
The Generic Model Organism System Database Project (GMOD) seeks to develop reusable software components for model organism system databases. In this paper we describe the Generic Genome Browser (GBrowse), a Web-based application for displaying genomic annotations and other features. For the end user, features of the browser include the ability to scroll and zoom through arbitrary regions of a genome, to enter a region of the genome by searching for a landmark or performing a full text search of all features, and the ability to enable and disable tracks and change their relative order and appearance. The user can upload private annotations to view them in the context of the public ones, and publish those annotations to the community. For the data provider, features of the browser software include reliance on readily available open source components, simple installation, flexible configuration, and easy integration with other components of a model organism system Web site. GBrowse is freely available under an open source license. The software, its documentation, and support are available at http://www.gmod.org.
