In order to understand and interpret phylogenetic and functional relationships between multiple prokaryotic species, qualitative and quantitative data must be correlated and displayed. GECO allows linear visualization of multiple genomes using a client/server based approach by dynamically creating .png- or .pdf-formatted images. It is able to display ortholog relations calculated using BLASTCLUST by color coding ortholog representations. Irregularities on the genomic level can be identified by anomalous G/C composition. Thus, this software will enable researchers to detect horizontally transferred genes, pseudogenes and insertions/deletions in related microbial genomes.

为了理解和阐释多个原核生物物种之间的系统发育和功能关系,必须对定性和定量数据进行关联与展示。GECO通过基于客户端/服务器的方法动态创建.png或.pdf格式的图像,从而实现多个基因组的线性可视化。它能够通过对直系同源物表示进行颜色编码来展示使用BLASTCLUST计算出的直系同源关系。基因组水平上的不规则性可通过异常的G/C组成来识别。因此,该软件将使研究人员能够在相关微生物基因组中检测水平转移基因、假基因以及插入/缺失。
