Genome Viewer Tool generates SVG graphics to show chromosome locations of data objects such as genes and QTLs, related to the query term. Genome Viewer is also called “GViewer”

Gviewer provides users with complete genome view of gene and QTL annotated to a function, biological process, cellular component, phenotype, disease, or pathway. The tool will search for matching terms from the Gene Ontology, Mammalian Phenotype Ontology, Disease Ontology or Pathway Ontology.

You have to install SVG viewer 3.0 from Adobe. If you are unable to find the SVG Viewer matching your operating system, you will not be able to see the graphics.

Special installation steps for Netscape 6 steps for Netscape 6

Netscape 6 supports the SVG Viewer plug-in, but the SVG Viewer installation program does not copy the necessary files correctly, so this must be done manually.
Thus for Netscape 6 proceed as follows:

• Download and run the SVG Viewer installation program from Adobe.
• After that you should find an "Adobe" folder on your system (on Windows usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe). The necessary files (namely "NPSVG3.dll" and "NPSVG3.zip") are contained in "SVG Viewer 3.0\Plugins".
  or
  Search for the files "NPSVG3.dll" and "NPSVG3.zip" on your system.
• Copy the files NPSVG3.dll, NPSVG3.zip to the "Plugins" folder in your Netscape 6 directory.

Now you should be able to see the SVG graphics using Netscape. It may be necessary to restart the computer (or at least the browser) for the plug-in to work.
