This chapter contains tutorials for using Map Viewer. Step-by-step instructions are provided for several common biological research problems that can be addressed by exploiting the whole-genome and positional perspectives of Map Viewer. Please be aware that the examples in these tutorials may return different results when you execute them, because the underlying data may have been updated, but we hope that the framework for obtaining, interpreting, and processing your results will be sufficiently clear if that happens. Most of the examples are for human genes, but the same logic applies to other genomes as well.

Please note that each of these tutorials is accompanied by a figure. If you are using this tutorial on the Web, we suggest that you open another browser window so that you can view the figure as you are reading the text. You are also encouraged to use Map Viewer interactively.

We welcome any suggestions that you have for improving the existing tutorials or for adding new ones.
