Overview

The Overview shows an overview of the chromosome currently selected in the Genome view and its features. To access the view, click on the Overview tab (the dark blue part of the image, below) or use View > Overview > (Name) > Show.

This view was released in Lasergene 17.3 and updated in 17.5, but still has limited features. We are developing a variety of very useful tracks for this view that will be available in Lasergene 18.0 and beyond. In the meantime, the Overview primarily serves as a way to view a selected chromosome at a different zoom level than is being used in the Analysis view.

The appearance of a ruler and/or features are controlled through “Overview”-related checkboxes in the Tracks panel. See Work with Tracks for more information.

The following table shows tasks associated with the Overview:
