  <div class="maxMinBox">
      <p class="indent">This view provides a pictographic overview of the entire genome, displaying each of a plant's chromosomes as a series of vertical bars. It also indicates the positions of all the genes that have been downloaded.</p>
      <p class="indent">Enter a gene ID or alias in the text box and ePlant will automatically download all the data associated with that gene for each of the installed views. You can enter several gene ID's at a time if they are separated, by, commas. There is an auto-complete function to help you identify genes by name.</p>
      <p class="indent">You can also load data by hovering over the chromosomes, selecting a gene from the popup listing all the genes at that position, then clicking the 'Get Data' button in the annotation panel of the selected gene.</p>
      <p class="indent">The current "Gene of Focus" can be adjusted with the combo box in the upper left corner, or by clicking on the star icon in the title bar of any open annotation panel.</p>
