SYNY: a pipeline to investigate and visualize collinearity between genomes
Alexander Thomas Julian,
Jean-François Pombert
Abstract:Investigating collinearity between chromosomes is often used in comparative genomics to help identify gene orthologs, pinpoint genes that might have been overlooked as part of annotation processes and/or perform various evolutionary inferences. Collinear segments, also known as syntenic blocks, can be inferred from sequence alignments and/or from the identification of genes arrayed in the same order and relative orientations between investigated genomes. To help perform these analyses and assess their outcomes… Show more
