SynTView - an interactive multi-view genome browser for next-generation comparative microorganism genomics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dynamic visualisation interfaces are required to explore the multiple microbial genome data now available, especially those obtained by high-throughput sequencing - a.k.a. "Next-Generation Sequencing" (NGS) - technologies; they would also be useful for "standard" annotated genomes whose chromosome organizations may be compared. Although various software systems are available, few offer an optimal combination of feature-rich capabilities, non-static user interfaces and multi-genome data handling.

Results

We developed SynTView, a comparative and interactive viewer for microbial genomes, designed to run as either a web-based tool (Flash technology) or a desktop application (AIR environment). The basis of the program is a generic genome browser with sub-maps holding i
