Synteny

Example page

Syntenic regions are calculated where possible from pairwise (two-species) whole genome alignments.

This view presents synteny between two species only. The centre chromosome represents the species of interest, and the smaller chromosomes show syntenic regions with a second species. Blocks are coloured according to the chromosome number on the second species. These blocks are connected by lines. Black lines connect syntenic blocks with the same orientation. Brown lines indicate regions with opposite orientation. The small red boxes mark the gene of interest and its homologue.

Under this chromosome diagram, find the gene list for the species of interest, along with homologues in the second species.

Synteny can also be displayed in region in detail (top panel) and region overview pages. Configure the page to show syntenic blocks.
