Navigation in result window

Search results window consists of the graphics part and the table part.  When the mouse cursor is on the border of these two parts (red arrow), it will become splitter.  By pushing and dragging this splitter, the size of each part can be changed.

The graphics part consists of the ID part and the bar graph part.  When mouse is located on the ID, the mouse cursor becomes hand icon and the Entrez data will be displayed by clicking mouse.  When mouse is moving around in the bar graph part, the color of the bar graph will be changed and the query coordinates and the subject coordinates will be given.  Clicking the bar graph will highlight the corresponding data in the table.

The summary of the search results are shown in the table.  When mouse is located on the ID, the mouse cursor becomes hand icon and the Entrez data will be displayed by clicking mouse.  The definition is not truncated.
