Gene Neighborhood Browser
AnnoView is an online tool for genome visualization and exploration of gene neighborhoods. AnnoView facilitates visualization of related gene neighborhoods across hundreds of species, clusters neighborhoods based on gene composition, locates genes or functions of interest, and colors genes by custom or pre-computed metadata.
Upload your own genomic regions (.gbk, .gff, or .csv files) and custom metadata (e.g., gene annotations), or explore subsets of genomic regions from the AnnoTree database, drawing from over 30,000 bacterial and 1,600 archaeal genomes. Then, customize your plots and export them as publication-quality images.
Use our default metadata parsed from your sample or upload your own custom metadata to change the color and search filter. Custom metadata will appear in the tooltip. Easily change gene/annotation coloring. Delete or add multiple tracks. Add genes to a legend. Click the genes on the legend to border them on the plot. Exportable for publication-quality images in SVG.
Zoom and pan on the main chart by interacting with the white space. Use the search filter to find your gene. Hover over the gene to reveal more information parsed from your sample. Rearrange the track order by dragging the bar symbol on the label. Click on a gene to highlight that gene throughout the plot.
Center the visualization on a new gene by selecting the centering option from the right-click menu of your gene of interest. Drag individual tracks by clicking and dragging to realign to your preference. Flip individual tracks to view their alternate orientation.
Explore subsets of genomic regions from our Annotree database, drawing from over 27,000 bacterial and 1,500 archael genomes.
