Using URL parameters

URL parameters

Genome Maps accepts the following URL parameters:

• species: change the species from human (default) to the given, species accept the following format: hsapiens, mmusculus, drerio, ...
• region: set the region to be opened, the zoom is automatically calculated, the accepted format is chr:start-end, ie. 11:101464999-101471853
• gene: fit the given gene name or Ensembl ID in the screen
• snp: move to the SNP position, dbSNP IDs are accepted

Some Examples

You can find some links here, keep in mind that parameters above can be combined as shown in some of the examples:

1. Default species is set to human, to open a different organism you can add species parameter:

   http://www.genomemaps.org/?species=mmusculus

2. To move to a specific region in mouse:

   http://www.genomemaps.org/?species=mmusculus&region=11:101464999-101471853

3. This URLs will fit human genes (default species) in the screen, remember you can combine them with species:

   http://www.genomemaps.org/?gene=BRCA2

   http://www.genomemaps.org/?gene=ENSG00000236383

4. While this one will open mouse BRAC2 gene:

5. You can also look for a specific SNP:
