As with the previous version of the genome browser, JBrowse2 can be directly accessed via the "Browse Genome" "ZFIN" link on the ZFIN home page, and in the "Genomics" Tab on the top of every page.

The updated browser continues to be displayed on multiple database pages, such as genes, transcripts and genomic feature pages.

Whenever possible, genomic entities such as genes and mutants are shown on the GRCz12tu genomic build.

Other entities such as transcripts and some older mutants are displayed on older genomic builds (Zv9, GRCz10, or GRCz11), but many will be updated in future releases.
