1. map
   In the map, the following objects are depicted.
   • cosmid : red box
     The location of each cosmid clone is depicted by a vertical red box.
   • CDS : blue box
     Predicted genes (CDSs) are depicted by vertical blue boxes. The exons are drawn by boxes, and introns are drawn by vertical lines. Genes on direct strand are drawn on the left side of the cosmid, and genes on complementary strand are drawn on the right.
     A red string on the CDS box shows CDS number. Black strings around the CDS box show corresponding cDNA clone groups (CELKxxxxx).
   • transcribed gene : green box
     Genes identified by EST evidences are depicted by vertical green boxes. The exons are drawn by boxes, and introns are drawn by vertical lines. Genes on direct strand are drawn on the left side of the cosmid, and genes on complementary strand are drawn on the right.
     A red string on the gene box shows its name.
   If you click one of the cosmid boxes, a precise information of the selected cosmid (Cosmid map) is displayed. If you click one of the CDS boxes, precise report of the selected gene is displayed.
2. in-situ images
   Thumbnail images of in-situ hybridization are aligned by genes (vertically) and developmental stages (horizontally). By clicking a thumbnail, a full size image can be seen.
3. change view
   There are buttons on both top and bottom of the area map page.
   • : scroll up one unit
     If the button is clicked, the view is scrolled to upper direction so that a neighbor cosmid is included in the new view.
   • : scroll up two units
     If the button is clicked, the view is scrolled to upper direction so that two neighbor cosmids are included in the new view.
   • : scroll up three units
     If the button is clicked, the view is scrolled to upper direction so that three neighbor cosmids are included in the new view.
   • : scroll down one unit
     If the button is clicked, the view is scrolled to down direction so that a neighbor cosmid is included in the new view.
   • : scroll down two units
     If the button is clicked, the view is scrolled to down direction so that two neighbor cosmids are included in the new view.
   • : scroll down three units
     If the button is clicked, the view is scrolled to down direction so that three neighbor cosmids are included in the new view.
   • : zoom in
     If the button is clicked, the center region of the current view is enlarged and cosmids at both edges are excluded from the new view.
   • : zoom out
     If the button is clicked, the current view is reduced and the neighbor cosmids of both sides are included in the new view.
4. change map size
   Users can change the graphic size of the map. Type width and height by dot number to fields on the bottom of the area map page, and then click "go" button. This affects to map only, so that in-situ hybridization images are unchanged.
