The fact that adjacent genes in bacteria are often functionally related is widely known. GeConT (Gene Context Tool) is a web interface designed to visualize genome context of a gene or a group of genes and their orthologs in all the completely sequenced genomes. The graphical information of GeConT can be used to analyze genome annotation, functional ortholog identification or to verify the genomic context congruence of any set of genes that share a common property.
细菌中相邻基因通常在功能上相关,这一事实广为人知。GeConT(基因上下文工具)是一个网络界面,旨在可视化一个基因或一组基因及其直系同源基因在所有完全测序基因组中的基因组上下文。GeConT的图形信息可用于分析基因组注释、功能直系同源基因鉴定,或验证具有共同特性的任何一组基因的基因组上下文一致性。
