{{ {{{template}}} | name = GBrowse_syn | full_name = Generic Synteny Browser | status = beta release | dev = active | support = active | type = Comparative genome visualization | platform = web | logo = GBrowse_syn_logo.png | home = | about = GBrowse_syn, or the Generic Synteny Browser, is a GBrowse-based synteny browser designed to display multiple genomes, with a central reference species compared to two or more additional species. It can be used to view multiple sequence alignment data, synteny or co-linearity data from other sources against genome annotations provided by GBrowse. GBrowse_syn is included with the standard GBrowse package (version 1.69 and later).

Please follow the installation instructions for GBrowse. | req = | install = | config = Configuration of GBrowse_syn is much the same as for GBrowse, with database and display options controlled by a configuration file. GBrowse_syn uses a main configuration file for general options plus an individual configuration for each species represented in the multiple sequence alignments.

Alignment data
- GBrowse_syn uses a central 'joining' database that contains information about the multiple sequence alignments
- There is an additional GBrowse database for each species represented in the alignments
- The databases for each species are configured in the same way as a regular GBrowse installations
- Details on the GBrowse_syn database
User interface
The overall look of Gbrowse_syn resembles GBrowse but has some key differences to accomodate the more complex comparative genome data (see the screenshot above).
GBrowse_syn uses a central "reference species" panel, with inset panels above and below for two or more aligned species. There is no upper limit to the number of species that can be displayed. | papers = Please refer to the following paper when citing GBrowse_syn:
