CPJSdraw: analysis and visualization of junction sites of chloroplast genomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chloroplast genomes are usually circular molecules, and most of them are tetrad structures with two inverted repeat (IR) regions, a large single-copy region, and a small single-copy region. IR contraction and expansion are among the genetic diversities during the evolution of plant chloroplast genomes. The only previously released tool for the visualization of junction sites of the regions does not consider the diversity of the starting point of genomes, which leads to incorrect results or even no results for the examination of IR contraction and expansion.

Results

In this work, a new tool named CPJSdraw was developed for visualizing the junction sites of chloroplast genomes. CPJSdraw can format the starting point of the irregular linearized genome, correct the ju
