Whole Genome Alignment

The Whole Genome Alignment plugin to the QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench delivers tools supporting the investigation of evolutionary relationships through multiple genome alignment and comparison, including interactive exploration and visualization.

The functionality can be used to work with small to medium sized genomes (up to 100M base pairs) and includes:

  • Aligning multiple genomes
  • Visualizing large-scale events, such as inversions and translocations
  • Fast generation and flexible display of whole genome dot plots
  • Calculating the Average Nucleotide Identity
  • Creating evolutionary trees and heat maps based on the average nucleotide identity
  • Importing and exporting standard whole genome alignments formats (MAF and XMFA)
  • Extracting multiple sequence alignments (based on annotations, e.g. only coding regions)
  • Transfer annotations from a selected reference genome to other sequences in the alignment
