2009 GMOD Community Survey

The 2009 GMOD survey focuses on genome and comparative genomics visualization. If you use any of GMOD's visualization components (such as SynBrowse), or if you have an interest in the topic, then you are strongly encouraged to take the survey before it closes on Friday, September 25. You may also win some GMOD gear.

__NOTITLE__ SynBrowse (Synteny Browser) is a generic sequence comparison tool for visualizing genome alignments both within and between species. It is intended to help scientists study and analyze synteny, homologous genes and other conserved elements between sequences. This software is useful in studying genome duplication and evolution. It can also aid in identifying uncharacterized genes, putative regulatory elements and novel structural features of study species by comparing to a well annotated reference sequence, thus enabling genome curators to refine and edit annotations of species that have incomplete genome annotations.
