To visualize the introgressed regions, we have developed a strain database. The strain database has the same data model as the feature database and allows the storage of strain information, such as strain name and its aliases, chromosomes, fine mapping markers and the name of the regions. These data are updated automatically with each update of the NCBI mouse genome build. When an interval is refined, scientists submit the new boundary markers via a webpage and the intervals are recalculated. The intervals are drawn through the Perl GD package. The database and the drawing tools may be of interest to other researchers working with congenic strains. Figure 2 illustrates the way strain information is displayed.","divisions":[{"label":"Title","span":{"begin":0,"end":19}}],"tracks":[]}
