Genomicus-plants

Genomicus-plants provides synteny browsing and comparative genomics visualization across multiple plant genomes to analyze gene organization and reconstruct ancestral gene arrangements.

Key Features:

• Unlimited Genome Comparison: Represents and compares an unlimited number of plant genomes simultaneously.
• Multi-dimensional Genome Navigation: Supports linear navigation along chromosome axes, transversal comparisons across species, and chronological exploration through evolutionary time.
• Phylogenetic Context: Provides a broad phylogenetic perspective to visualize genomic data within an evolutionary framework.
• Ancestral Gene Organization Reconstruction: Includes reconstructed ancestral gene organizations to assist interpretation of gene order evolution.
• Synteny Map Construction from Public Genomes: Constructs synteny maps using publicly available full genome sequences.

Scientific Applications:

• Evolutionary history of gene organization: Analyze the evolutionary history of gene organization across diverse plant species.
• Conserved region identification: Identify conserved genomic regions and assess their potential functional significance.
• Inference of evolutionary events: Infer duplications, deletions, and rearrangements that have shaped current plant genomes.

Methodology:

Constructs synteny maps from publicly available full genome sequences and integrates phylogenetic data to reconstruct ancestral gene organizations.
