ABSTRACT

 

Liang C, Wolz C, Herbert S, Bernhardt J, Engelmann S, Hecker M, Götz F, Dandekar T., GENOVA: A rapid genome vizualization and functional genomics software. Online J Bioinformatics, 10 (2): 201-217, 2009 As genomic sequences become publicly available, software to analyze, categorize and manipulate genome information allows to better exploit this information as well as, to plan experiments in functional genomics. GENOVA is a workbench for genome annotation, simulation of genetic experiments and classification of different genes. It supports functional genomic and annotation efforts (e.g. vaccinia virus, Staphylococci, Blattabacteria). Outputs are interactively illustrated on a genome canvas with a graphical user interface, as well as exported as high-quality image files or function reports and listings. Advantages are demonstrated for a complex strain selection and design scenario where ultimately Staphylococcus aureus COL provided the optimal non pathogenic strain and RN1HG the model pathogenic strain. Software and supplementary material are accessible at
