When you select genotyping samples, they are shown in the Variants track. Zoom deep enough to see the individual bases and click on one of the variants. The Local variants dialog will open. Local variants form. The formatted table can now...
For version 10.3.9284 and later Until recently, the only way to visualize and analyze variants was to load VCF files into the database using our loader tool, PersephoneShell. This CPU-intensive process transformed the data, making it suitable for fast retrieval in...
As you probably know, Persephone allows users to upload their files and view them alongside the data from the database. When importing annotation files in GFF3 format, the users must select the genome on which they want to see the...
The new tool aligns multiple protein sequences. You can access the alignment interface via the Tools menu. In this case, the text box for the sequences will be empty, and you can populate it with the sequences you wish to...
We’ve introduced a new video tutorial showcasing the multi-map mode, designed to provide a compact and intuitive view of multiple syntenic maps. To get started, simply open a blank screen via Tools → Multimap and select a main reference map. The...
It might look simple - to change straight connecting lines to curvy splines - but using standard graphics libraries to draw thousands of Bezier curves will not provide adequate rendering speeds. We had to delve deeply into the GPU shader...
As you probably noticed, when the Persephone's stage is empty, we show a graphical representation of the selected genome. We made the overview of the maps more informative by adding the sequence histograms. They are based on the GC content...
We have loaded 23 genomes of the genus Solanum from the project described at Solgenomics.net. The set includes species such as bitter tomato, African eggplant, melon-pear, and others. They can be opened in Persephone by following these direct links: Solanum abutiloides...
An Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) cultivar Rabiosa genome has been loaded to the system. The other ryegrass genomes can be linked by orthologous gene pairs. Use the Multimap tool to align individual maps. Open the list of Italian ryegrass maps by...
It was a pleasure collaborating with scientists from KAUST, INRAE, and other institutions on our recent publication in Nature, titled "Genome assembly of a diversity panel of Chenopodium quinoa." As part of this collaboration, we uploaded nine quinoa genomes to...
