Background

• Cytogenetic band (Giemsa stain)
  a.k.a. G-band, which is supposed to stain AT-rich region of chromosomes.
• GC content
  Computationally generated band that reflects GC% of chromosomes.
• Repetitive element density
  Computationally generated band that represents the number of repeatitive elements per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Repetitive Sequence Region track.
• Known gene density (number)
  Computationally generated band that represents the number of known genes per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Known Gene Track.
• Known gene density (base coverage)
  Computationally generated band that represents the nuber of bases belong to known gene exon/UTRs per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Known Gene Track.
• mRNA density (number)
  Computationally generated band that represents the number of genome-mapped mRNAs per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Human/Mouse/Rat mRNA Track.
• mRNA density (base coverage)
  Computationally generated band that represents the nuber of bases belong to genome-mapped mRNA regions per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Human/Mouse/Rat mRNA Track.
• EST density (number)
  Computationally generated band that represents the number of genome-mapped ESTs per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Human/Mouse/Rat EST Track.
• EST density (base coverage)
  Computationally generated band that represents the nuber of bases belong to genome-mapped EST regions per 1Mb. The data source is UCSC Genome Browser Human/Mouse/Rat EST Track.
