  • Gene fusions/duplications in GRIMM-Synteny?

    I am attempting to look at homologous synteny blocks in an organelle genome across a few different species using GRIMM Synteny.

    Reading the documentation files and Tessler & Bourque (2008), I have understood how to manually code sequence data to a format that GRIMM Synteny can accept (I am using gene coordinates):

    1 1 start_1 length_1 strand_1 1 start_2 length_2 strand_2 etc.

    This works great for most of the genes I am looking at. However, I seem to have gotten stuck in two particular situations: gene fusions and gene duplications (and since it is an organelle, it is a unichromosomal analysis). The typical situation here is that one species has a gene fusion or gene duplication, but another one in the analysis does not.

    Can those genes be used in GRIMM Synteny? If so, in what format should they be written?

    I have performed a forum search, a Google search and a search at Pubmed without any luck so far.

    Thank you for your time, have a nice day.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
