IMGT Genes on the Ensembl Genome Browser
"IMGT Genes" have been available on the Ensembl Genome Browser since October 28, 2005.
The links below give access to the human IG and TR loci in
To see "IMGT Genes":
- - Click on one of the links below. Select 'Configure this page' (left panel).
- - In the new window, click on 'Genes' (main panel).
- - In 'External data sources', select 'IMGT DAS Sources' and in the pop up menu 'Normal', for example. Click on the 'save and close' in the upper right corner.
- - 'IMGT DAS Sources' appears in the second box at the bottom of the page.
Once "IMGT Genes" are displayed, clicking on an individual IMGT Gene opens a small window with a direct link to IMGT/GENE-DB.
Genes in the forward (FWD) orientation on the chromosome are displayed above the DNA (contigs), whereas genes in the reverse (REV) orientation are located below.

"IMGT Genes" on the Ensembl Genome Browser were set up by Emmanuel-Jean Servier since 2006 (DESS de Bioinformatique, Université Montpellier 2 September 2005, and LIGM, October 2005) and has been maintained by Jérôme Lane and Patrice Duroux since 2011.
Notes:
- (1) Be aware that in the GRCh37.p2 assembly, the TRB locus had major errors (gaps, inversion). The correct sequence is available in IMGT/LIGM-DB in L36092. In GRCh38 these errors have been corrected.
