Synteny Portal
Synteny Portal constructs and visualizes synteny blocks to identify conserved genomic regions among multiple species for comparative genomics and evolutionary analysis.
Key Features:
- Construction of Synteny Blocks: Constructs synteny blocks among multiple species using prebuilt alignments from the UCSC genome browser database.
- Visualization and Export: Generates high-quality visualizations of syntenic relationships and provides exportable visual representations.
- Genetic Annotation: Associates synteny blocks with detailed genetic information to provide genomic context across species.
- Data Download: Provides downloadable, comprehensive synteny block data suitable for downstream synteny-based analyses.
Scientific Applications:
- Comparative Genomics: Investigation of genomic architecture and conserved genomic regions across multiple species.
- Evolutionary Analysis: Inference of evolutionary relationships and genome structural changes using conserved synteny blocks.
- Downstream Analyses: Supply of synteny block datasets for downstream synteny-based and comparative studies.
Methodology:
Constructs synteny blocks among multiple species using prebuilt alignments from the UCSC genome browser database.
