Genome2D

Genome2D is a handy, easy to use application designed to help you visualize a bacterial genome with all its individual genes on a single computer screen genome enables quick identification of biologically relevant information such as gene orientation, operon structure, transcriptional terminators or regulator binding sites.
Using a simple input file subsets of genes can be visualized by single or multiple coloring or by a color gradient when values are used. The input file is a tab-delimited text file, comprising one column with the genes to be colored and one column indicating their colors or a value.
When applied to DNA microarray data the values could represent differences in transcription levels. This feature enables easy and rapid identification of genes that are transcriptionally linked. In a multiple transcriptome analysis experiment, e.g. a measurement in time, all data sets can be loaded as separate input files and subsequently shown in animation. Thus, the changes in gene expression can be readily recognised.
