Abstract

We have developed GComp as an analysis tool for comparative analysis of microbial genomes. Thetool uses BLAST or FASTA as a preprocessing program for local alignments, parses the homology search results, and generates tables and files to show homology relationship between two genomes at a glance. The interface for graphical representation of the comparative genomic analysis has been also implemented. Through analysis of a few pairs of microbial genome sequences, the program has been proved to be practically useful and a few additional features have been devised and designed, which will be added in the further development.
