SEED Viewer Manual
The SEED is a framework to support comparative analysis and annotation of genomes. The SEED Viewer allows you to explore the curated genomes that have been produced by a cooperative effort that includes Fellowship for Interpretation of Genomes (FIG), Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and teams from a number of other institutions.
