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
