DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD
We compared the predicted protein sequences from both genomes using the BLAST implementation in Biofacet (Gene-IT), and used a mutual best match procedure to identify putative orthologous pairs. We performed an ADHoRe analysis to identify regions of conserved gene colinearity. You can browse the results of these analysis through this interface, and plot the location of your genes of interest.

BROWSE THE GENOMIC COMPARISON

Enter the names of the gene pairs you wish to map:
Each line should specify one pair of genes - one from Haloarcula (HM) and one from Halobacterium (HH).
Example:
rrnAC0456      HHVNG0887G
RRNAC1097       HHVNG1306G
rrnAC3462       HHVNG1835G
hhvng2574G      rrnAC2158
HHVNG2665G    rrnAC2429

The formatting is flexible. Leave the list empty to browse the current annotation.

Select the desired plot scale: base pairs per pixel (larger numbers yield smaller plots).

DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTPUT

Based on your requirements, this software will create a dot-plot visualization of the comparison between the two genomes. The x-axis represents the H. sp NRC-1 genome and the y-axis represents Haloarcula marismortui. The replicons of each genome are sorted by decreasing size from left to right, or from top to bottom, respectively.
In the plot, small blue marks indicate putative orthologous pairs (BeTs - best hits). Click on them to identify them. Green squares enclose those orthologous pairs that belong in ADHoRe clusters: larger clusters are indicated with larger squares. Finally, if you specified some gene pairs, these will be highlighted in red.
