BacMap -- an interactive picture atlas of annotated bacterial genomes
What you can do:
Interactively visualize and search fully labeled bacterial genomic maps.
Highlights:
- BacMap is an interactive visual database containing fully labeled, zoomable and searchable chromosome maps from more than 170 bacterial (archaebacterial and eubacterial) species.
- It uses a recently developed visualization tool (CGView) to generate high-resolution circular genome maps from sequence feature information.
- Each map includes an interface that allows the image to be expanded and rotated. In the default view, identified genes are drawn to scale and colored according to coding directions.
- When a region of interest is expanded, gene labels are displayed. Each label is hyperlinked to a custom 'gene card' which provides several fields of information concerning the corresponding DNA and protein sequences.
- Each genome map is searchable via a local BLAST search and a gene name/synonym search.
