GenomePixelizer was designed to help in visualizing the relationships between duplicated genes in genome(s) and to follow relationships between members of gene clusters. GenomePixelizer may be useful in the detection of duplication events in genomes, tracking the "footprints" of evolution, as well as displaying the genetic maps and other aspects of comparative genetics.
GenomePixelizer may be considered a drawing tool that generates custom images of genomes out of the given set of genes. Each element on the picture has a physical address defined by coordinates (pixels), hence the name "GenomePixelizer".
顯示基因組中重復(fù)基因與基因簇成員之間的相互關(guān)系的軟件。特別是檢測(cè)基因組中的重復(fù)事件(duplicating events),追蹤進(jìn)化的“足跡”以及顯示遺傳圖等。程序需先安裝TCL/TK后(分別為2.5M與1.1M),才能執(zhí)行。
