Four genomes
The illustration shows syntenic relationships between human, chimpanzee, mouse and zebrafish genomes. Curved links encode sequence similarity and outer data tracks represent consensus similarity statistics and orthologous genes. The cover image shows a detail of a visualization prepared with the free genome comparison tool, Circos. Martin Krzywinski, a research scientist at Canada's Michael Smith Genome Sciences Center, is interested in fingerprinting, data analysis and data visualization.
