SyntenyViewer

SyntenyViewer visualizes syntenic relationships and catalogs conserved genes across angiosperm genomes to support comparative genomics and translational mapping of trait-associated loci.

Key Features:

• Comparative genomics data: Provides comprehensive comparative genomics data across seven major botanical families of flowering plants for analysis of evolutionary relationships and genomic conservation.
• Catalog of conserved genes: Contains a catalog of 103,465 conserved genes identified between 44 angiosperm species and their inferred ancestral genomes.
• Evolutionary event characterization: Enables investigation of the evolutionary fate of ancestral genes and genomic regions, including duplications, inversions, deletions, fusions, fissions, and translocations.
• Translational mapping of trait genes: Facilitates mapping of key trait-related genes from model species to crops to support translational research in crop improvement.

Scientific Applications:

• Evolutionary genomics: Analysis of gene conservation and genomic rearrangements to study plant genome evolution across angiosperms.
• Translational crop research: Comparative mapping of trait-associated loci from model species to crop genomes to inform crop improvement and agricultural biotechnology.

Methodology:

Data are organized in a relational database and include inferred ancestral genomes together with a catalog of 103,465 conserved genes identified among 44 angiosperm species.
