Fig. 3. The suite of cotton genetic map display screens beginning with (A) the linkage group or chromosome and (B) molecular probe information displays. (C) The molecular probe search form is also shown. Arrows indicate display or form launches based on menu item or mapped object selection.

Fig. 4. The OxfordGrid interface is employed to generate comparative pairwise views of the cotton AD and D genomes. (A) It opens with a dot-plot style view of the cotton genetic maps. A horizontal menu above the dot-plot allows the selection of either inter- or intragenomic pairwise views that are based on molecular markers common to both genomes and locations. (B) A mouse click over a selected cell launches an enlarged view of the chosen combination of linkage groups and chromosomes and (C) in this display, a mouse click over a probe location pair launches detailed views of the associated cotton genetic map regions.

Fig. 5. The suite of phylogenetic tree display screens. In this resource, it is used to display genetic diversity data in an interactive fashion. (A) The initial display shows the complete phylogenetic tree associated with molecular marker analysis based genetic diversity data. (B) Subtree display can be generated by a mouse click over the selected node as indicated by the dashed arrows. Also, an interactive tree-cutting feature provides a color-coded indication of clusters associated with the user selectable depth for tree cutting.

Fig. 6. Display screens (B through D) for the key data types are shown with possible exploration paths indicated by black arrows. Explorations can begin with accession selection in (A) the genotype portal and then proceed to (B) the pedigree, (C) performance trait ranking, or (D) the genetic diversity tree-clusters display.
