GSDS

GSDS visualizes gene structures and annotated features to support comparative and evolutionary genomics analyses.

Key Features:

• Gene structure visualization: Visualizes structural components of genes and their annotated features from user-provided genomic data.
• Expanded annotation support and formats: Supports a broad range of annotation features and input formats for comprehensive gene representation.
• Phylogenetic tree integration: Incorporates user-specified phylogenetic trees to relate gene structures to evolutionary context.
• Publication-quality figure generation: Generates high-quality figures of gene structures suitable for publication.

Scientific Applications:

• Gene function analysis: Facilitates visualization-driven interpretation of gene structure to inform functional hypotheses.
• Comparative genomics: Enables comparison of gene architectures across sequences or species using annotated structural displays.
• Evolutionary biology: Supports studies of gene evolution by combining structural visualization with phylogenetic context.

Methodology:

Maps input genomic data and annotations to visualize structural components of genes and additional annotated features, incorporates user-specified phylogenetic trees when provided, and outputs publication-quality figures.
