74 Tools for Comparison of Bacterial Genomes
نویسنده
چکیده
Of the plethora of bioinformatical tools available, some useful tools that allow complete genome sequences to be compared are described here. Comparisons of genome length, base composition, gene density, numbers of tRNA and rRNA genes, and codon usage can provide useful biological insights. Examples are provided of a Genome Atlas plot, to summarize many features of a single genome, and a BLAST Atlas, in which multiple genomes can be combined. A table of web-services for useful tools is provided.

متن کاملPhysical Mapping of Bacterial Genomes
The use of physical maps for the description and comparison of bacterial genomes has dramatically increased in the last few years with the advent of powerful tools for the construction of physical maps of large DNA molecules. The availability of restriction enzymes that cut whole bacterial genomes only a few times together with the use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to resolve and size the...

The multitude of bacterial genome sequences being determined has opened up a new field of research, that of comparative genomics. One role of bioinformatics is to assist biologists in the extraction of biological knowledge from this data flood. Software designed for the analysis and functional annotation of a single genome have, in consequence, evolved towards comparative genomics tools, bringi...

With the increase in the flow of sequence data, both in contigs and whole genomes, visual aids for comparison and analysis studies are becoming imperative. We describe three web-based tools for visualizing alignments of bacterial genomes. The first, called Enteric, produces a graphical, hypertext view of pairwise alignments between a reference genome and sequences from each of several related o...
