Features of the column types

Marker_points

The ?Map magic tag "Main_Marker" causes the names of landmark point objects such as Locus to be displayed in this column, which does not zoom or scroll.

Marker_intervals

This column contains fixed (non-scrolling) interval-type pictures such as chromosome diagrams.

Locator

This is the "scroll bar", the green rectangle that changes position and height to indicate the segment of the chromosome currently being displayed, relative to the full-height black bar representing the whole chromosome.

Interval_xxx

There are three types of displays available for Interval objects such as Rearrangements: Interval_JTM, Interval_RD and Interval_SRK.

Contigs

The vertical yellow bars represent the genetic map location of physical map contigs, with some clones that have been placed on both maps indicated as bands. The endpoints of each contig in genetic map units are given in the ?Contig Map Ends tag. The positions of the clones are then interpolated linearly in these units.

Reversed_physical

A red bar (or dot, when zoomed out) indicates the order of the loci on the Contig map is reversed relative to the genetic map.

Physical_genes

Locus objects containing the magic tag "Positive_clone ?Clone" will be displayed in this column next to the location on the Contigs bar where the corresponding Clone maps. These indicate clones which have been placed on the genetic map as well as the physical map.

Points

A new(?) magic tag for ?Locus is "Well_ordered". If the option "Segregate ordered genes" is selected in the Configure window, loci possessing the Well_ordered tag will be drawn on the left side of the column and those lacking it on the right.
