Abstract

Summary: We present SynView, a simple and generic approach to dynamically visualize multi-species comparative genome data. It is a light-weight application based on the popular and configurable web-based GBrowse framework. It can be used with a variety of databases and provides the user with a high degree of interactivity. The tool is written in Perl and runs on top of the GBrowse framework. It is in use in the PlasmoDB ( ) and the CryptoDB ( ) projects and can be easily integrated into other cross-species comparative genome projects. Availability: The program and instructions are freely available at Contact:jkissing@uga.edu
