circularMT

circularMT creates customizable, publication-quality images of linear and circular mitochondrial genome maps for visualizing gene and noncoding feature complement, their order, and strand orientation.

Key Features:

• Genome map visualization: Generates linear and circular mitochondrial genome maps showing gene and noncoding feature complement, their order, and strand orientation.
• Customizable output: Produces highly customizable, publication-quality images.
• Pipeline integration: circularMT-console enables integration into analysis pipelines.

Scientific Applications:

• Phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies: Supports visualization of mitochondrial DNA sequences used extensively in phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies across diverse organisms.
• Phylogenomic analysis: Facilitates whole mitochondrial genome analysis for taxa with high species diversity but limited coverage for other genomic resources.
• Structural rearrangement evaluation: Enables evaluation and description of structural rearrangements in de novo mitochondrial genome assemblies relative to reference taxa.

Methodology:
