Along with this + growth, it has become more difficult for browser users to + sort through the many tracks to find the data they're + interested in. + <P> + With our latest Genome Browser release, we've introduced a + new track search feature that will help you to quickly and + easily find and display specific annotation data sets. The + search feature is available via the "track search" button + on the browser gateway and tracks display pages. <P> - Thanks to Tim Dreszer and the rest of the team for implementing and testing this feature. - </P><HR> + The default search takes one or more terms as input, and + returns a list of all the browser tracks in which the name, + description, group or associated metadata contains the + terms. The advanced search option lets the user fine-tune + the search based on the track name, description, and group. + Individuals interested in the ENCODE data available on + selected human genome assemblies can use the advanced + search to specify particular ENCODE metadata terms, such + as cell line, experiment type, etc. + <BR><BR> + <img style="border: 2px solid black; margin-left:auto; + margin-right:auto; display: block;" + src="/images/tracksearch.gif" + alt="Track search screenshot"> + <BR> + Once the list of search results is shown, you may choose + which tracks you'd like to view in the browser, and can + adjust the display modes.
