Multi-scale, multi-genome visualization and analysis.

Overview

Genomorama is a software program for interactively displaying multiple genomes.

It provides a powerful yet easy to use interface that leverages the visualization power of modern computers (via OpenGL) and the substantial bioinformatic infrastructure provided by the NCBI (via the NCBI C toolkit).

Genomorama is written in portable, highly optimized C++ and comes in three "flavors" that allow it to run natively on (most) modern operating systems: OS X (using Carbon), Microsoft Windows (using MFC), and Linux (using Motif). Executables and source code are freely provided for all flavors.

What's new in Genomorama

Version 1.5:

Fixed bug in highlighting matched regions when searching with primers or probes that contain degenerate bases.
Fixed bug in parsing gbk files that contain single base annotations on the complement strand.
Fixed bug in DNA3Seq::find() that missed exact matches at 3' end of target sequence.
Fixed bug in annotation editor (annotation type control was not enabled).
Fixed bug that required the selection of a genome when loading a genome plot when only a single genome is loaded. When only a single genome is present, assume implicit selection.
Custom color records are now saved to and read from GBK files.
Fixed bug when downloading multi-entry records from NCBI (i.e. gi|46810958)
Fixed fragile parsing of annotation range in the annotation edit dialog. Changed all displayed ranges to match the Genbank range format (i.e. "start..stop").
[Motif] Fixed download dialog bug.
Fixed bug that prevented downloading of very large Genbank records (i.e. human chromosomes).
Fixed bug that omitted intergenic space following single base annotations (i.e. SNP's).
Added an OS X Intel-specific executable and made the information dialog box resizable.
Added the number of Watson and Crick matches to all hybridization based search results.
