Perform a simple BLAT query + +### Genome Browser Basics + +In this guided walkthrough, we go from selecting our genome (hg38 in this +case), to going to our gene of interest (BLAH), to turning off and on some of +our favorite tracks, before finally BLAH. + +#### Step 1: Choose your genome + + + +
+
+ +Genome selection + +
+
+ +Go to BLAH, select your genome from the diagram or search for in the search box at the top left of the screen. + +For this walkthrough, we will select "Human" and stick with the default GRCh38/hg38 assembly. +
+
+ + + +#### Step 2: Navigate to your gene of interest + +
+
+ +After selecting a genome, enter a gene name into the search box. In our case, +we will enter "HUNK", a gene for BLAH, into the search box. + +After typing in the name, select the gene name "HUNK" from the list that +appears below the search box. You will be taken directly to that gene location. +
+
+ +Genome selection + +
+
+ +#### Step 3: Configure the Genome Browser tracks + +
+
+ +The horizontal lines of genomic data in the UCSC Genome Browser are known as **tracks**. they may BLAH, BLAH, and BLAH + +
