<strong>Comparative</strong> Genomics<br />

This chapter presents a number of comparative genomics <strong>and</strong> visualization <strong>tools</strong> used <strong>in</strong><br />

a genome annotation <strong>and</strong> analysis pipel<strong>in</strong>e. Visualization methods have been shown to<br />

help draw biological conclusions about adaptation to environmental niches, pathogenic<br />

properties, <strong>and</strong> comparison of many other genomic properties <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g proteome similarity.<br />

Overview<strong>in</strong>g the large amount of genomic data constitutes a constant challenge that<br />

will need more attention <strong>in</strong> the future as sequenc<strong>in</strong>g technology becomes more <strong>and</strong> more<br />

common. How can one visualize comparison of a thous<strong>and</strong> genomes? Soon there will be<br />

a need to compare sets of thous<strong>and</strong>s of genomes.<br />
