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).

GBrowse_syn, as implemented at WormBase

| public_server = | dl = | dl_src = | dl_dev = | getting_started_preamble = GBrowse_syn has been part of the GBrowse distribution since version 1.69; we recommend using the most up-to-date version of GBrowse 2. 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 mutliple 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.
