Comparing Yeast Species Used in Beer Brewing and Bread Making
Using the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR) to gain knowledge about less-researched organisms The scientific community relies heavily on model organism research to gain knowledge and make discoveries. However, focusing solely on these species misses valuable variation. Comparative genomics allows us to use knowledge from a model species, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to understand traits in … Continue reading Comparing Yeast Species Used in Beer Brewing and Bread Making
New Fungal Alignments Available in the Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV)
Recognizing Fungal Disease Awareness Week Fungal pathogens are a growing threat to global public health. To promote awareness of this issue, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established September 18 -22 as Fungal Disease Awareness Week. In honor of this week, we’re highlighting whole genome alignments for fungal pathogens that are now … Continue reading New Fungal Alignments Available in the Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV)

Now Available! Access Data from the Human Pangenome Research Consortium (HPRC) at NCBI
Have you ever wondered how your genetic make-up is different from your neighbor’s? The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)-funded Human Pangenome Research Consortium (HPRC) has built an initial version of a pangenome reference – a collection of new human reference genome sequences representing 47 individuals from across the globe. Pangenome graphs relate the sequences … Continue reading Now Available! Access Data from the Human Pangenome Research Consortium (HPRC) at NCBI
New! The Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV) Dot Plot
Get a High-Level View of Assembly-Assembly Alignments New feature! We added an alternate view in the Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV) that shows a dot plot (also known as a 2D plot) comparing two related genome assemblies. This added view provides a high-level overview of the assembly-assembly alignment. Dot plots help you find large genome rearrangements … Continue reading New!

NCBI’s Remap Tool to Retire in November 2023
As of November 2023, NCBI’s Remap tool will no longer be available. Due to low usage of Remap, a tool that projects annotation data from one coordinate system to another, we are focusing our development efforts on our more popular resources and tools. We encourage you to check out our newest, easy-to-use visualization tool, the Comparative … Continue reading NCBI’s Remap Tool to Retire in November 2023
