Background Information
Objective: To have you learn about Syntenic Dotplots while generating one.
Difficulty: Easy
Estimated Time: 5 minutes
New Programs Used: SynMap
Lesson
Introduction
The image to the right is a syntenic dotplot. This lesson teaches you what a syntenic dotplot is, how it is used, and why it is useful. You will also learn how to create a syntenic dotplot through SynMap.
Syntenic Dotplots
- Syntenic dotplots compare two genomes to each other
- In the picture to the right the green dots show homologous regions, regions where there are similar genes between two organisms
- The x-axis represents one organism's genome and the y-axis represents the other organism's genome
- Each box within the graph represents one chromosome
- See more detailed information
