Visualizing microsats on a genome

[msthoma]

Hello everyone,

Does anybody know of a way that can be used to visually represent a large number of microsat markers in a genome? I have a large number of microsats (~20000) on the mouse genome, and I want to produce a figure showing a subset of them on the genome.

Thanks!

If you just want to represent the microsatellite regions on the chromosome positions you could use the genome graph function of the UCSC Genome Browser:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGenome

you can upload a list of regions and it displays your data along the genome. Maybe that's what you're looking for...
