Retrieval functions and result visualization in LivestockExp. A Genes can be queried by ID, protein family, GO terms, or KEGG pathway on the search page. B Alternatively, genes can be searched by nucleotide or protein sequence on the blast page. C The basic features of a retrieved gene are listed on the top of the gene page. By clicking on the ortholog group ID, users can open a popup window to explore ortholog gene expression in other species. D JBrowse showing the associated transcript models and alternative splicing events within a gene locus. E Impact of alternative splicing on a transcript with protein domains. This alternative splicing removes 121nts from the transcript and leads to a destructive effect on the PF00732 protein domain. F A list box showing all studies and an interactive bar chart showing gene expression levels in sample groups from the ERP116168 study. The bar chart can be clicked to expand and to visualize the expression level in each sample
