SynBrowse (Synteny Browser) is a generic sequence comparison tool for visualizing genome alignments both within and between species. It is intended to help scientists study and analyze [[Synteny|synteny]], homologous genes and other conserved elements between sequences. This software is useful in studying genome duplication and evolution. It can also aid in identifying uncharacterized genes, putative regulatory elements and novel structural features of study species by comparing to a well annotated reference sequence, thus enabling genome curators to refine and edit annotations of species that have incomplete genome annotations. | SynBrowse (Synteny Browser) is a generic sequence comparison tool for visualizing genome alignments both within and between species.

SynBrowse (Synteny Browser) is a generic sequence comparison tool for visualizing genome alignments both within and between species. It is intended to help scientists study and analyze synteny, homologous genes and other conserved elements between sequences. This software is useful in studying genome duplication and evolution. It can also aid in identifying uncharacterized genes, putative regulatory elements and novel structural features of study species by comparing to a well annotated reference sequence, thus enabling genome curators to refine and edit annotations of species that have incomplete genome annotations.
Call for Volunteers
SynBrowse2 is under development and needs your help to get it out the door. See the announcement for details.
Demo
Please see http://www.synbrowse.org.
Requirements
GBrowse, between 1.62 and 1.68. A new release of SynBrowse that works with GBrowse 1.70 is under development and is expected to be released in early 2010.
Downloads
The source code and installation documentation of SynBrowse as well as the associated tools can be found at http://www.synbrowse.org.
