Step 3. Own
Unleash the full power of OpenGenomeBrowser and revel in the results of high-speed performance, seamless operation, and access to a wealth of insights.
Interface
Genomes table
a Sortable and filterable table: Here, one genome is selected, but it is possible to select multiple. b Genome context menu: provides access to other features. c “Show columns and filters”: A click on this bar expands settings to add more metadata columns to the table and apply filters. (⚙) Settings sidebar: Download the table.
Gene comparison
a Input mask for genes to be searched. b Output: alignments. Can be exported in aligned FASTA format. c Output:
gene loci. Each subplot shows the genes around one of the queried
genes, which are represented as colorful arrows. Orthologous genes have
the same colors while genes without orthologs are white. The plots are
interactive: pan, zoom, and click on genes. (⚙) Settings sidebar.
For alignments: Choose between DNA and the protein sequence alignments,
change the alignment method. For gene loci: Set the range around the
gene’s locus, change the annotation category by which to color the genes.
Annotation search
a Search for annotations. b Search for genomes. c Coverage matrix output: The numbers in the cells tell the number of genes in the genome that have the annotation. d Clicking on a cell reveals which genes. (⚙) Settings sidebar: Download the table.
Pathways
Visualization of pathway coverage of one or multiple genomes. a Search for pathway maps. b Search
for genomes: One or more groups of genomes can be added. In this
example, the first group includes all genomes that belong to the
taxonomic group Actinobacteria, the second group all Firmicutes. c Output: Coverage visualized on the KEGG citrate cycle pathway. d Color
scale: The color of the reaction boxes indicates how many of the
selected genomes cover the reaction (white: no genomes, yellow to red:
one to all genomes). e Grouping: The left part of each box corresponds to the first group, the right part to the second. In this example, all Actinobacteria genomes (3 out of 3) in the database cover the entire citrate cycle, whereas not all Firmicutes (6 out of 19) do. f Context menu of a reaction box: It shows which annotations are behind the reaction and which genomes cover the reaction. (⚙)
Settings sidebar: Change the colors, export the information in the plot
as a table, download the pathway map in PNG or SVG format.
Dot plot
a Search for query and reference genomes. b Output: dot
plot. The reference genome is on the X-axis, the query genome on the
Y-axis. The genes are shown at the edge of the plot in green and violet,
respectively. By default, unique forward alignments are colored in
blue, unique reverse alignments in green and repetitive alignments in
orange. c Zooming in is achieved by drawing a rectangle with the mouse over a region with repeated elements. d A click on the suspicious gene reveals it to be a transposase. (⚙) Settings sidebar: Configure how the plot is rendered.
