Hypothesis
The development of a new genome browser will facilitate comparative and functional analyses of fungal genomes.
Conclusion
The SNUGB serves as a powerful platform supporting comparative and functional genomics within the fungal kingdom and also across other kingdoms.
Supporting Evidence
- The SNUGB integrates genomic information from 98 fungal and oomycete species.
- It provides three different forms of data presentation: diagram, table, and text.
- SNUGB offers tools for data annotation and analysis, including 'BLAST annotation'.
- The modular design allows easy adoption for other comparative genomic platforms.
Takeaway
The SNUGB is a tool that helps scientists look at and compare the DNA of different fungi easily.
Methodology
The SNUGB integrates genomic information from various fungal and oomycete species and provides multiple data presentation formats and analysis tools.
Limitations
The integration of data from different sequencing centers can be challenging due to heterogeneous formats.
