<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">Synteny, the conserved order of genes on a chromosome, carries valuable information for comparative genomics, phylogenetics and informs gene nomenclature. We have generated
new synteny maps comparing <i>X. tropicalis, X.</i> <i>laevis</i> L and <i>X.</i>
<i>laevis</i> S sub-genomes, Human, mouse and chick. The maps are based on explicit orthology assertions, combined with symbol matching. Each map shows the gene of interest at center, in yellow, flanked by 5 upstream and 5 downstream gene models. Orthologs/paralogs
are shown in same color, connecting matched gene symbols by same-colored lines. <o:p>

Just enter a gene symbol, hit search. It’s not perfect, and LOC genes are currently excluded from the serch, though they do show up in the maps. We are working to expand coverage- the next version will integrate reciprocal BLAST and InParanoid to resolve
orthology for more genes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
