Abstract
UNLABELLED: In order to understand and interpret phylogenetic and functional relationships between multiple prokaryotic species, qualitative and quantitative data must be correlated and displayed. GECO allows linear visualization of multiple genomes using a client/server based approach by dynamically creating .png- or .pdf-formatted images. It is able to display ortholog relations calculated using BLASTCLUST by color coding ortholog representations. Irregularities on the genomic level can be identified by anomalous G/C composition. Thus, this software will enable researchers to detect horizontally transferred genes, pseudogenes and insertions/deletions in related microbial genomes.
