### 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 Rabbit genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

Request: |  | Genome Browser Response:
--- | --- | ---
chrM |  | Displays all of chromosome M
chr3:1-1000000 |  | Displays first million bases of chr 3
chr3:1000000+2000 |  | Displays a region of chr 3 that spans 2000 bases, starting with position 1000000
EF606761 |  | Displays region of mRNA with GenBank accession number EF606761
DN888572 |  | Displays selection of regions of EST alignments with GenBank accession DN888572
homeobox caudal |  | Lists mRNAs for caudal homeobox genes
zinc finger |  | Lists many zinc finger mRNAs
kruppel zinc finger |  | Lists only kruppel-like zinc fingers
edery |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by scientist named Edery
Wistow,G. |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author G. Wistow
Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Wistow G, internally it uses the format Wistow,G..

### Assembly details

The genome has been sequenced to 7.48X coverage. Included in this assembly is sequence of length 2,247,769,349 bases for chromosomes 1 thru 21, the X chromosome as chrX and the mitochondrian sequence (genbank accession NC_001913) as chrM. Also included are 3,219 unplaced sequences of length 489,721,152 bases with names of chrUn0001 thru chrUn3219.
