M-GCAT: interactively and efficiently constructing large-scale multiple genome comparison frameworks in closely related species

摘要

BackgroundDue to recent advances in whole genome shotgun sequencing and assembly technologies, the financial cost of decoding an organism's DNA has been drastically reduced, resulting in a recent explosion of genomic sequencing projects. This increase in related genomic data will allow for in depth studies of evolution in closely related species through multiple whole genome comparisons.
