What are Entry Points?
What are Entry Points?¶
- Entry points comprise the coordinate system on which annotations are made.
- For example, a chromosome is an entry point. For unassembled genomes, the scaffolds might be the entry points.
- Entry points must be defined within Genboree, with a name and a length, so that annotations can be placed on them.
- Currently, entry points are independent within Genboree; i.e. not directly linked. They are simply the names of chromosomes
- Entry points can be uploaded in two different formats:
- 3-column LFF
- The entry point name
- The keyword "Chromosome"
- The length of the entry point
- Fasta files
- 3-column LFF

Real Example¶
As an example, you can download the chromosome sizes for Mouse MM10 from UCSC:We can turn this into a 3 column LFF format for uploading onto Genboree with some very light formatting:
