With the explosion of available genomic information, comparative genomics has become a central approach to understanding microbial ecology and evolution. We developed DiGAlign (https://www.genome.jp/digalign/), a web server that provides versatile functionality for comparative genomics with an intuitive interface. It allows the user to perform the highly customizable visualization of a synteny map by simply uploading nucleotide sequences of interest, ranging from a specific region to the whole genome landscape of microorganisms and viruses. DiGAlign will serve a wide range of biological researchers, particularly experimental biologists, with multifaceted features that allow the rapid characterization of genomic sequences of interest and the generation of a publication-ready figure.
随着基因组信息的爆炸式增长,比较基因组学已成为理解微生物生态和进化的核心方法。我们开发了 DiGAlign(https://www.genome.jp/digalign/),这是一个提供多功能比较基因组学功能的网络服务器,具有直观的界面。它允许用户通过简单地上传感兴趣的核苷酸序列,从特定区域到微生物和病毒的整个基因组景观,执行高度可定制的同线性图谱可视化。DiGAlign 将为广泛的生物研究人员,特别是实验生物学家,提供多方面的功能,允许快速描述感兴趣的基因组序列,并生成可发表的图形。
