A Trial Version of Persephone for Windows is Open for Download
We released a trial version of Persephone for Windows. It has many more features than the web version. In fact, it is a full production version with just a couple of features temporarily disabled. We plan to enable the rest of the functionality later this month. Please visit https://persephonesoft.com/installation to see the installation instructions.
Syneteny matrix for comparison of sorghum and corn genomes. Each dot represents an ortholog pair
The data set has many plant genomes from public sources:
- Arabidopsis thaliana (TAIR10)
- Brachypodium distachyon (Bd21)
- Brassica napus (Chalhoub et. al 2014)
- Glycine max (Wm82.a2.v1)
- Medicago truncatula (Mt4.0)
- Oryza sativa ssp. indica (ASM465v1.28)
- Oryza sativa ssp. japonica (IRGSP-1.0.25, MSU_osa1r7)
- Solanum licopersicum (SL2.40)
- Sorghum bicolor (Sbi1)
- Zea mays (B73 RefGen_v1, B73 RefGen_v2).
Sorghum chromosome 9 in the middle is aligned vs. chromosome 6 and 8 of corn
When compared, they show a good synteny. For example, try to align sorghum and rice (Oryza sativa japonica) genomes. Sorghum chromosome 3 aligns nicely with rice chromosome 1. You can also see a genome duplication between sorghum and corn.
We also added the human and mouse genomes, just in case you are not so much interested in plants.
