What is GeneGrouper

GeneGrouper is a command-line tool that places gene clusters into groups according to how conserved their gene content is. Instead of providing all genes in a gene cluster, you only provide the sequence of one gene and the upstream and downstream coordinates that encompass at least the entire gene cluster. Several visualizations and detailed data tables are provided for further investigation.

Features

  • Fast -- scales to thousands of genomes and searches are completed in minutes.

  • Simple inputs -- just one gene sequence from your gene cluster, upstream and downstream basepair distances from your gene sequence that cover the gene cluster, and a list of genomes in genbank format from RefSeq.

  • Multiple visualizations of gene cluster groups.

  • Data tables for further downstream analysis.
