Visualization of Conserved Syntenic Blocks Among Six Cotton Genomes in CottonGen Ping Zheng, Sook Jung, Chun-Huai Cheng, Jing Yu, Heidi Hough, Josh Udall, Don Jones and Dorrie Main 2018 International Cotton Genomics Initiative Conference May 28 – June 1, 2018 Edinburgh, Scotland

Introduction Assessment of synteny between related genome sequences, coupled with software to visualize these relationships can facilitate understanding of genome and gene family evolution Synteny between the 6 publicly available cotton genomes was identified using the Multiple Collinearity Scan toolkit v1.0 (Wang et al, 2012) Synteny results are displayed using the Tripal Synteny Viewer (Fei lab, Boyce Thomson Institute) with links to the gene and associated information in CottonGen

Access Synteny Viewer via Tools
