### Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the Microbat genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

Request: |  | Genome Browser Response:
--- | --- | ---
GL429775 |  | Displays all of scaffold GL429775
GL429775:1-1000000 |  | Displays first million bases of GL429775
GL429775:1000000+2000 |  | Displays a region of scaffold GL429775 that spans 2000 bases, starting with position 1000000
EU044718 |  | Displays region of mRNA with GenBank accession number EU044718
AK131176 |  | Displays region of Other mRNA with GenBank accession AK131176
AY057101; AY728075 |  | Displays region between genome landmarks, such as the mRNA markers AY057101 and AY728075. This syntax may also be used for other range queries, such as between uniquely determined ESTs, STSs, refSeqs, etc.
homeobox caudal |  | Lists mRNAs for caudal homeobox genes
zinc finger |  | Lists many zinc finger mRNAs
kruppel zinc finger |  | Lists only kruppel-like zinc fingers
zahler |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by scientist named Zahler
Evans,J.E. |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author J.E. Evans
Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Evans JE, internally it uses the format Evans,J.E..

### Assembly details

The genome has been sequenced to 2X coverage. There are 3407 scaffolds (named GLnnnnnn) with 8247 unplaced contigs (named AAPEnnnnnnnn) in the assembly. The sequence length is 2,034,575,300 bases. There are 68,155,432 'N' bases in gaps, leaving 1,966,419,868 ACGT bases.

Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. The Microbat browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
