Comparisons of gene colinearity in genomes using GeneOrder2.0.

Comparative genomics is enhanced by data mining the rapidly expanding DNA sequence databases. Because of the immense amount of data, computational tools and methods are needed to augment traditional manual visualizations and manipulations of these data. GeneOrder2.0, a Java-based interactive software programme, organizes genome sequence data into tabular and graphical visualizations of the extent of colinearity of genes between any two chromosome genomes of < or =250 kilobases. Both GenBank and proprietary data can be analyzed with this tool.
