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.
