The GALA database(s) incorporate genomic annotation information with multi-species alignments to allow complex querying on publicly available sequence information.Announcement try our new and improved version known as GalaxyWe incorporate diverse annotation information including genes, SNPs, alignments, disease association and gene expression levels from multiple sources such as GenBank, Ensembl, The Whitehead Institute, and The Human Genome Browser.
Users may formulate simple or complex queries, by querying any field in the database individually, or by combining queries to refine and narrow the scope of the inquiry, respectively. Queries of the database allow a user to specify how much information they want to see. For instance, one can retrieve all information for a given region. Furthermore, one can identify characteristics that are common to distal loci such the amount of sequence conservation upstream of a specified gene family or SNP density that occurs more frequently than expected. Several options are given for textual output or visualization of the data.
A history page keeps track of queries and provides various approaches to combining "cached" information from which new queries can be constructed. To help the users, 3 example queries, a page of frequently asked questions and a query-help page are provided.
