Documentation
GBrowse_syn uses the same infrastructure as GBrowse, in terms of species databases, etc. It differs in that databases and configuration for individual species are linked together via a central configuration file and an alignment database.
The files and scripts used to load the synteny browser at WormBase can be obtained from the WormBase ftp site.
