The Genome Control is a powerful tool for selecting one or more genomes. It lists every genome available in the NMPDR. The NMPDR core organisms are shown first, followed by the other organisms sorted by name within domain. Bacteria are shaded light pink, archaea are light blue, and eukaryota are yellow.

The genome list is a classic HTML list control. Clicking a genome selects it and deselects all others. Use CTRL-click to toggle individual genomes and SHIFT-click to select a range of genomes.

Below the genome list is a text box labeled Select genomes containing. This is called the Instant Search Bar. Type any string in the text box and only genomes whose names contain the string will be shown in the list. The string you type can be a genus name, a species name, a unique characterization, or a taxonomy number. If the Select genomes containing label is a button, you can click the button to select all the genomes being displayed. Genome selection by this method additive: to start from scratch with a blank list, click the Clear All button.

Below the Instant Search Bar are three special-purpose buttons.

  • Clear All deselects all the genomes.
  • Select All selects all the genomes.
  • Select NMPDR selects all NMPDR core organisms and deselects the others.

At the bottom of the control is a list of the genomes you've selected. The list box only shows a small number of genomes at a time, but the Selected-Genomes display will always include the complete list of genomes selected.
