Gene Trap
All information about 'GeneTrap' (1) is external to Ensembl, although the genome browser annotates GeneTrap clones in a 'Distributed Annotation System' (DAS) track along the genome sequence.
A GeneTrap DAS track is available in Ensembl 'ContigView' and 'CytoView' from the 'DAS Sources' menu in the golden menu bar of the 'Detailed View' section. As Ensembl is a genome browser we do not sequence or assemble genomes nor do we distribute clones.
More information on the GeneTrap project, a text search page for clone names, as well as a sequence similarity search function for clone sequences are available from the GeneTrap resource page at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
