PersephoneShell Can Now Calculate Synteny Ribbons

Our data-loading tool, PersephoneShell, has a new command to run minimap2 for two genomes and create synteny ribbons that connect regions with high sequence similarity.

Launching the synteny analysis is very easy; just provide two identifiers (MapSetId) of the genomes to be compared, for instance:

create synteny 11 22

PersephoneShell is the main data-loading component of the Persephone software package, available exclusively to licensed customers. It operates via the command line and is inaccessible through the web application. Still, we decided to share this information as the end users might be interested in additional analysis that can be easily performed at the back end.
