            <P>This step-by-step tutorial covers the basic concepts
            behind setting up a GeneSeqer@PlantGDB gene structure
            analysis, understanding the results of an analysis, and
            applying these results to further investigations. This
            tutorial illustrates the individual steps necessary to
            use the <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/cgi-bin/GeneSeqer.cgi">http://www.plantgdb.org/cgi-bin/GeneSeqer.cgi</A>

   <P>The <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/cgi-bin/GeneSeqer.cgi" TARGET="_blank">http://www.plantgdb.org/cgi-bin/GeneSeqer.cgi</A>
   web service is intended primarily for the purpose of performing
   spliced alignment of query sequences (sequences representing
   transcribed genes, i.e. ESTs, cDNAs, and proteins) with a target
   sequence (genomic DNA). The results of such an alignment are
   useful in many studies. Because there are a number of questions
   which may be addressed by spliced alignment, the process by which
   you use GeneSeqer@PlantGDB may vary. For instance, your choice of
   input sequences can be determined based on similarity to other
   sequences (both genomic and transcribed) or you may already
   possess an uncharacterized sequence you wish to know more about.
   In this example, the later case applies. The form elements found
   in this tutorial are identical to those of the standard web
   service. You may wish to <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/cgi-bin/GeneSeqer.cgi" TARGET=tutorial>http://www.plantgdb.org/cgi-bin/GeneSeqer.cgi</A>
   and follow along in parallel with this tutorial however this is
   not required.</P>

   <P>To demonstrate a typical use of this service, we have choosen
   to characterize a segment of genomic sequence from <I>Sorghum
   bicolor</I> (<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=nucleotide&cmd=search&term=AF503433" TARGET="_blank">GenBank
   accession AF503433</A>). This bacterial artificial chromosome
   (BAC) represents approximately 142,000 bases of genomic sequence.
   While this sequence could be pasted into the large text area below
   or even saved to a local file and uploaded, we have choosen to
   simply enter the accession number in the appropriate field as
   shown. To finish this step, we select the <U>GenBank</U> format. A
   detailed description of optional formats can be found at the

   <P>While an exhaustive alignment of "All Plant" ESTs and cDNAs is
   possible, the size of our genomic sequence in this example calls
   for a more efficient approach. Generally, when characterizing a
   large genomic sequence (as is being demonstrated), the detection
   of genic regions is the primary goal. Only after their detection,
   are these regions looked at in greater detail. Note the options
   for alignment of specific data types as well as individual or
   logical species groups. These functions as well as alignment of
   sequences of your own choosing are discussed in the <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/tutorial/#Refinement">refined
   analysis</A> section later in this tutorial.<BR>
   For now, we choose to align only the representative TUG collection
   of all plants. This sequence collection represents the Tentative
   Unique Gene clusters assembled using the <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/ESTCluster/progress.html" TARGET="_blank">PlantGDB

            <P>Large genomic sequences are broken into fragments of
            60000 bases for visualization. Each of these segments can
            be viewed by selecting it in the drop down menu on the
            left of the results window. The corresponding graphic
            summary for each segment is displayed in the upper pane
            of the results window. The summary graphic is clickable;
            by selecting a structure (colored arrow) within the

            represent aligned sequences and predicted gene structures
            according to their unique color. In this example, red
            arrows represent predicted open reading frames; green
            arrows represent possible gene structures (possibly
            alternative structures); and blue arrows represent the
            alignment of EST or cDNA sequences. For all arrow
            drawings exons are represented as colored rectangles

   <P>The culmination of the GeneSeqer@PlantGDB analysis is the
   prediction of an accurate gene structure. The quality of this
   prediction can be assessed by prediction of a probable open
   reading frame (ORF) and comparison to know proteins. Predicted
   ORFs are shown as red arrows in the summary graphic. Additionaly,
   the longest ORF as well as its translation frame is displayed in
   the alignment file. The NCBI blastp link following the translated
   ORF sequence in the alignment file will allow you to more easily
   find putative homologs for this putative gene.<BR>

   <P>Interesting gene regions found through the process described
   above can be further refined through various methods. One such
   method, demonstrated in this paragraph, involves a detailed look
   at the evidence (ESTs and cDNAs) supporting a given gene
   structure. Through the spliced alignment of "All Plants" ESTs and
   cDNAs to the restricted region, insight into possible alternative
   gene structures, polymorphisms, and differential transcription is
   made possible. To demonstrate this concept, we have choosen the
   15kb region extending from base 7500 to base 22500 of the
   <I>Sorghum bicolor</I> BAC analyzed above. The results are
   available <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/tutorial/SB_GSQexample/SBdetailedGSQ.html" TARGET=GSQxSBdetail>here</A>.
   This analysis was done in the same manor as above with the
   exceptions that the 7500 to 22500 range was input in step 2 and
   the "All Plants" EST and cDNA options were choosen in step 3.</P>

            <P>As shown by the summary graphic, three distinct gene
            regions have been characterized. These three gene regions
            putatively represent a mitochondrial carrier protein,
            subunit 1 of a cleavage stimulation factor, and a serine
            threonine kinase based on BlastP queries with the NCBI
            non-redundant database as described in the next section.
            Interestingly, spliced alignment of non-native (non
            <I>Sorghum</I>) transcripts alone are responsible for the
            characterization of the mitochondiral carrier protein in
            the 7800 to 11800 region shown to the left. Also
            noteworthy is the apparent alternative gene structure
            represented by an exon in the 9438 to 9477 region of this
            gene. The native transcript presumably encoded by this
            gene region is assumed to lack this exon or to express it
            as an alternatively spliced product due to the low local
            alignment similarity of the homologous sequence
            alignments. Investigation as to the origin of the
            transcripts corresponding to each gene structure reveal
            two (2) transcripts arising from monocotyledons
            (<I>Secale cereale</I> (rye) gi:10093099; <I>Oryza
            sativa</I> (rice) gi:27547342) and two (2) transcripts
            arising from dicotyledons (<I>Solanum tuberosum</I>
            (potato) gi:17074557l <I>Lycopersicon esculentum</I>
            (tomato) gi:18260535). In this example, the gene
            structure lacking the exon in question is supported by
            spliced alignment of the monocot homologs and thus as
            assumed before most likely represents the native
            <I>Sorghum</I> gene transcript.</P>

   <P>Determining the complete gene structure, representing the
   entire coding region, of a gene is in some cases not possible
   using the alignment of transcribed sequences alone. As mentioned
   above, inclusion of homologous transcripts can increase the
   coverage of these alignments but is not always sufficient to
   produce a complete gene structure. For this reason,
   GeneSeqer@PlantGDB includes an interface allowing the alignment of
   homologous proteins. These homologs may be determined through the
   use of the NCBI blastp link provided in the ORF section of the web
   service results. The results shown <A HREF="http://www.plantgdb.org/tutorial/SB_GSQexample/SBprotGSQ.html" TARGET=GSQxSBprot>here</A>
   represent such alignments in the 7800 to 11800 region of the
   <I>Sorghum</I> BAC used throughout this demonstration.</P>

            <P>The 10 putatively homologous proteins aligned in this
            example were obtained using the external BlastP link
            provided in the GeneSeqer@PlantGDB text results. Each ORF
            prediction found in the text results is followed by this
            link to facilitate searches against the NCBI
            non-redundant database. In this example, all 10 proteins
            demonstrated e-values of at most 8e-66. As was shown in
            the preceding section, homologous alignments of two (2)
            putative <I>Arabidopsis thaliana</I> proteins suggest an
            alternative gene structure while alignment of the other
            eight (8) protein sequences confers the predicted native
            gene structure.</P>
