As part of the demo we're doing at the Cold Spring Harbor rat meeting this year, I've created a brief tutorial/walk through of some of the tools on RGD for use in the afternoon demo session. You can download the PDF document and then follow the instructions to take a brief guided tour of some of the RGD features. It covers basic searching, using the ontologies and GViewer to search in more specific ways and then finishes with QTLs and finding and downloading cell cycle genes in a QTL region.

If you are trying this here at the meeting, there will be a number of the RGD team members on hand to help out or to answer any other questions you might have about the site and how to use it. If you find this type of tutorial worksheet useful, please let us know and we'll create some more for other areas of the site.
