Synteny

VCMap, also known as The Virtual Comparative Map was developed in order to explore the conserved synteny between Rat, Mouse and Human. Genomes and annotations of additional species (Chicken, Cow, and Pig) were added to the database of information accessible to VCMap. VCMap was developed with... Platforms: Windows

Syntainia is an innovative tool for visualization of multiple genomes. It presents a simple and intuitive user interface to view and manipulate relationships between groups of genes. With a clearer gene visualization, it is easier for the researcher to identify synteny conservation among multiple... Platforms: Mac

ABACAS is intended to rapidly contiguate (align, order, orientate), visualize and design primers to close gaps on shotgun assembled contigs based on a reference sequence. ABACAS uses MUMmer to find alignment positions and identify syntenies of assembled contigs against the reference. The output... Platforms: Mac

PanOCT, Pan-genome Ortholog Clustering Tool, is a program written in PERL for pan-genomic analysis of closely related prokaryotic species or strains. Unlike traditional graph-based ortholog detection programs, it uses micro synteny or conserved gene neighborhood (CGN) in addition to homology to... Platforms: Mac, Linux

The whole genome shotgun approach to genome sequencing results in a collection of contigs that must be ordered and oriented to facilitate efficient gap-closure. We present a new tool OSLay that uses synteny between matching sequences in a target assembly and a reference assembly to layout the... Platforms: Mac
