Comparative Mapping by Matepair Chains
 
 
  • Shotgun reads are mapped from the genome of one species onto the genome of another using Pash
  • Matepair mappings are examined to identify those that:
    - Map at a distance consistent with the insert size
    - Map in an orientation consistent with the forward and reverse read of the matepair
  • Overlapping matepairs with consistent mappings are merged into matepair chains
  • Matepair chains indicate a conserved region between the two genomes

Search for Matepair Chains covering a Human gene,
or other area of interest:

  • Enter the RefSeq Gene Symbol or gene name.
  • You will see the Matepair Chains covering your gene, if any, as a Genboree visualization.
  • You can also try searching using other "Keywords" (eg, accession numbers, cytobands, etc)
