How do I interpret the chromosomal coordinates of a gene?

Frequently Asked Questions
The start and stop coordinates refer to the entire chromosome, where position 1 is the first nucleotide of the left arm of the chromosome. The Watson strand is defined as running 5' to 3' from the left to right telomere, and the Crick strand is complementary to it. The first letter of each name is 'Y', denoting 'yeast'. The second letter denotes chromosome number (I=A, II=B, etc.). The third letter denotes the chromosomal arm where each locus resides: L for left and R for right.

Can you supply GPS coordinates for the Camino?

Frequently Asked Questions about the pilgrimage to Santiago ...
No, but Richard Hardwick is in the process of compiling them: go to http://users.skynet.be/watermael/gps/50358.html to see what he has put together so far, and if you can contribute more data, get in touch with him directly via his site.

How can I find coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) for ZCTAs based on centroid?

U.S. Census Bureau ZIP Code Tabulation Areas - FAQs
The downloadable ZCTA gazetteer files contain the latitude/longitude coordinates for each Census 2000 ZCTA. Coordinates for ZCTA internal points (calculated by considering the latitude/longitude of all bounding features and then creating an area-weighted average point inside the polygon) are also available in the TIGER/Line® Files.

Who coordinates the call for projects?

FACE | University Partnerships | FAQ
A Program Officer, Christian Tual, based in Washington, coordinates the summoning and yearly reviews of the Jury. He prepares the preliminary reports for the Jury and executes the follow-up on the development of the projects.

What do the coordinates refer to?

NYS Interactive Mapping Gateway
The coordinates are the true center of the map window, displayed in latitude and longitude. If you zoom into the map, the coordinates are for the location of the last click with that tool. The coordinates for a feature within a window are accurately obtained by selecting the map recenter button. The window will then refresh, centering the selected feature.

How accurate are the coordinates?

NYS Interactive Mapping Gateway
The coordinates are reported to four decimal places, corresponding to approximately 10 meters in New York State (longitude 8 meters, latitude 11 meters near the state's geographic center). The accuracy of the features selected in the map window depends on the resolution of the orthoimagery being viewed.

Who coordinates volunteers?

Untitled Document
Volunteers are coordinated by a Volunteer Committee of the Board and the Public Relations Coordinator on Staff.

What Coordinate System are the coordinates in?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - AddressDoctor
Addresses delivered by AddressDoctor are assigned coordinates of the World Geodetic Coordinate System of 1984 (WGS84). These coordinates are in decimal degrees.

How many coordinates can I store?

Software by D'Zign
D'Zign programming pacs are distributed on a 32MB Secure Digital card that also provides the user with approximately 30MB of usable backup memory for coordinate files not currently in use, additional programs from other sources. (shareware personal information managers, phonebooks, etc. are available for download from www.HpCalc.org )

What's all this about coordinates and datum?

The first is something called a "datum". In simple terms, this is the "model" used to represent the shape of the earth. This is necessary, because the earth is not really round. WGS-84 is an example of a map datum. Other common datums in use are NAD27 and NAD83. We use WGS-84 here, because the Global Positioning System itself uses it. By the way, your GPS probably also defaults to this datum, so you shouldn't need to change it.

How do I find the coordinates for a location?

About the Google Earth Geographic Web Layer
You can move the cursor over any location in the Google Earth 3D viewer and see the coordinates for the location in the status bar at the bottom of the 3D viewer. Learn how to change the latitude/longitude display. You can also create a placemark for a location and view the coordinates for the location in the New Placemark dialog box.

When should coordinates be negative?

HoudahGeo - Frequently Asked Questions
Latitude values that are south of the equator are negative. Longitude values that are west of Greenwich England are negative. Consequently locations in South America have both a negative latitude and negative longitude.

What format should I use for the topo coordinates?

SummitPost - Frequently Asked Questions -- FAQs
SummitPost requires coordinates in decimal degree notation (dd.dddd), not DMS (dd? mm' ss.sss'') or UTM. Be sure to recalculate the coordinates into dd.dddd format. A decimal point (.) is required. Commas are deleted and result in incorrect coordinates. Members in the western hemisphere must use negative longitudes. Here are two examples: Recalculate the DMS-data (dd? mm' ss.

How do I get only the coordinates for the corners?

GeoCommunicator Frequently Asked Questions
The coordinates for the corners are available in the GCDB flat files (ASCII files) and township coverages, but these are not available for download from GeoCommunicator. The GCDB flat files and township coverages are available on request via "Contact Us". The "Shapefile" option is for displaying the linear features graphically in a GIS viewer such as ArcView or the free ArcExplorer software. You can get the free viewer from: If you get the flatfiles, look at the *.

Some of these sites show the coordinates in decimal format. How do I convert?

Markwell's Update to FAQ
Take the integer (whole number) - positive is North and East, negative is South and West - and set it aside. The remaining decimals would be multiplied times sixty to get minutes. Example: the Sears Tower in Chicago is located at 41.878928? -87.636415?. For the latitude... N41? 52.736 Now try the math on your own: Longitude -87.636415? will convert to W087? 38.185. To reverse the process, take the minutes portion and divide by 60, then tag it on to the degrees. West" is negative: -87.

How do I replace coordinates (which I obtained as a result of re-refinement of my structure)?

Deposition FAQ
We expect that before depositing your coordinates with the PDB, you have completed your refinement. Re-refinement of the data is not encouraged. In a few unusual scenarios (the referees of your paper suggest a re-refinement, for example) you may send revised coordinates to deposit@deposit.rcsb.org along with the RCSB and PDB ID of the entry. As long as the entry has not been released, it will be re-processed with the new coordinates and have the same RCSB and PDB ID.

How do coordinates work? How do you use the map?

Imperial Conflict - The FAQ
Coordinates are the same as on normal maps. You have your X-axis, which is the horizontal axis. The Y-axis is the vertical axis. Coordinates are usually made like this: (XX,YY). Planet coordinates add another number, the planet number (Z). So your coordinate will look like this: (XX,YY:ZZ). To use the map, click on one of the sectors. You will get an overview of all systems in that sector.

G5. How can I find the coordinates of my point count?

Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas
You may use the mapping tool developped by Lands Information Ontario. Instructions on how to use the LIO tool are available here.

How do I get the coordinates for each listing in my database?

Flashmaps / Support / FAQ / DB Mapper
Inside your DB Mapper are included several tools to geo-code (for receiving the lat-long coordinates) for each address of your databases. The possibilities include being able to perform a batch process of your whole database, to using a visual tool that lets you drag & drop the listings on the map. For more information regarding said options, consult the DB Mapper Evaluation Pack.
