As of September 2023, NCBI’s Genome Decoration Page (GDP) will no longer be available. Due to low usage of GDP, we are focusing our development efforts on our more popular resources and tools.
If you are using GDP to view your data mapped to genomes, we encourage you to check out our Genome Data Viewer (GDV) if you haven’t already. You can upload your data for display in GDV and export PDF or SVG images of your view.

Feel free to contact our help desk at info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov if you have any questions or concerns.
I don’t understand the term Genome Decoration Page. Can you explain it. How to use GDP to view its data.
The Genome Decoration Page allowed you to upload your own annotation (markers) and create a diagram showing your annotation distributed on the genome with a background of the standard ideogram and cytogenetic banding patterns for chromosomes for the organism. See the GDP help documentation for more details and an example.
That’s a shame, I like to use this as a visual aid to show patients where their microdeletions/duplications are. Do you know of another similar tool?
Thank you for your comment. Our Genome Data Viewer (GDV) is a good substitute. This quick video may be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WRUNovZ-aA. You can also reach out to our help desk if you have specific questions about using the GDV: info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
