NLM’s NCBI is excited to introduce the Multiple Comparative Genome Viewer (MCGV), a new tool in active development that allows you to visualize an alignment of multiple eukaryotic genomes. While our existing Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV) allows you to compare pairs of eukaryotic assemblies, the new MCGV tool can help you analyze multiple assemblies in a single view.  

MCGV displays are based on multiple whole genome sequence alignments. You can navigate these alignments in the viewer to track evolutionarily related regions across strains or species. Focus in on a particular genome region to investigate how differences in genome structure may have contributed to differences in gene sequence and function. You can access MCGV by clicking on the “Visualize gene across species” link via the gene search results page.   Continue reading “New!
