Hi Zhiliang,

I don't know the answer to your question, but...

How are you loading the Genbank data into GBrowse?  If you are first
creating a GFF3 file then you can modify the GFF3 file before loading
it.  In particular, I think you could leave column 1 of the GFF as
"NC_007299" on all the lines for chromosome 1, and change column 9 of
just the line that defines the chromosome from "Name=NC_007299" to
"Name="Chr.1"  This leaves the internal ID as NC_007299, but displays
it as Chr.1

Or does this not address what you are trying to do?

Alternatively, If you can't find any links that are broken with your
current approach, then you can leave it as it is.

Hope this helps,

Dave C.

It displayed alright, but just wonder if this is the right way to do?  (wonder if ACCESSION also used for other things like web links).
