IMGT/GENE-DB QUERY PAGE The IMGT/GENE-DB Query page comprises three types of search (Figure 1): (i) ‘GENERAL CRITERIA’ allows a search of IG and TR genes, for a given species, by locus or chromosomal orphon set, by gene type, group or subgroup, or functionality. The user can select genes that have been found rearranged, transcribed or translated. (ii) ‘SHORT CUT’ allows a selection, for a given species, on gene name or clone name. (iii) ‘IMGT/GENE-DB direct links’ gives access to a set of links, which allow the retrieval of the information related to either one given gene, or to genes of a group using configurable URL, which can be used by humans or programs.
