Ortholog Viewer

The Ortholog Viewer is a tool that shows ortholog CDS in similar genomes. The orthologs have to be computed before.

What should be done to use this tool? (Points 1-3 are already done, if you prepared the project for the Comparative Annotator

1. create Bidirectional-Blast-Tools in the project with: create_genome_compare_tools.pl
   
2. Run the Tool for each Contig-combination with: submit_job.pl
   
3. Run set_biderectional_project_config.pl.
   
4. Run compute_orthologs.pl to create ortholog-observations
   
5. Use the tool
   

This is how the window looks like after opening the Ortholog Viewer:

Now you can do the following:

• Browse through the genome
• Select a CDS

Anchor(Browse Orthologs)

Browse through the genome

You can browse through the genome, using the scrollbar. When moving the mouse over a CDS-box, its orthologs are highlighted yellow:

When you find an interesting CDS you may examine it further by selecting it.

Select a CDS

By clicking a CDS-box, one CDS is selected (red) and its orthologs are shown orange.
