DerBrowser is a Java applet designed to display genomic maps and
serve as an interactive WWW interface to databases containing
positional data on mapped objects.
The database part is optional :) you can publish your own map on
the Web using a simple ascii file containing the required data.
For more information and examples, go to

The Integrated X chromosome database (IXDB) at MPIMG is currently
using DerBrowser for displaying YAC and marker maps of the human
X chromosome. You can try it at
http://www.mpimg-berlin-dahlem.mpg.de/~xteam/
You'll need a Java-enabled browser, as well as some initial patience
to load the applet code.
