GBrowse_syn is a GBrowse based synteny viewer. This page describes the database that GBrowse_syn uses, and how to get syntenic data into that database.
Contents
Schema
- The alignment database schema is very simple; it has a tables for all reciprocal 'hits', or alignment features and a table for (optional) 1:1 coordinate maps
- The alignments table contains coordinate information and also support cigar-line representations and the alignment to facilitate future reconstruction of the alignment within GBrowse_syn.
Sample data
- Sample data and configuration files from the WormBase Synteny browser can be found on the WormBase ftp site
Loading
- The starting point for loading the alignment database is a CLUSTALW format multiple sequence alignment
- The source of the alignment data is up to you but the supported format for entry is currently CLUSTALW. This format is not mandatory but the parsing script below will need to be adjusted to support other formats
Clustal alignment format
NOTE: The sequence naming convention "species-seqid(strand)/start-end" shown in the example below is essential for the data to be loaded correctly with strand and coordinate information

Database Loading Scripts
Split large clustal files into smaller ones
For performance reasons and to avoid overloading the bioperl-based perl scripts, split large clustal files that have many alignments into one alignment/file with the script split_clustal.pl. This is necessary for very large files that would otherwise overload the BioPerl alignment parser.
gunzip my_huge_clustal_file.aln.gz | perl split_clustal.pl /path/to/smaller_alignment_files
Parse the alignments
A suggested method for formatiing alignment data is to parse clustalw format the alignments using the script clustal2hits.pl
perl clustal2hit.pl /path/to/smaller_alignment_files/*.aln |gzip -c >processed_alignments.txt.gz
- The output of this script is described below
alignment data loading format
- The output of the script is a tab-delimited ad hoc intermediate format that encodes the alignment coordinates plus 1:1 mapping of coordinates within the alignment (to facilitate accurate grid-lines in GBrowse_syn)
- However to get you alignment or syntency data, this the the format currently supported for loading the alignment database.
- Each record is a single line (wrapped here for display only)
#species1 seqid1 start1 end1 strand1 reserved species2 seqid2 start2 end2 strand2 reserved \ # pos1-1 pos1-2 ... posn-1 posn-2 | pos1-2 pos1-1 ... posn-2 posn-1 c_briggsae chrI 1583997 1590364 + . c_remanei Crem_Contig24 631879 634679 - . \ 1584000 634676 1584100 634584 (truncated...) | 631900 1590333 632000 1590233 (truncated ...)
Create a mysql database
mysql -uroot -ppassword -e 'create database my_database'
Load the database
load the database with the script load_alignment_database.pl
gunzip -c processed_alignments.txt.gz | perl load_alignment_database.pl
- Once loaded, the data look something like this:
