Find Synteny blocks from UCSC chain file and net file

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Hi,
Thanks for your wonderful software! I have tried the mySyntenyPortal with assembly sequences, but i find it's too slow to get the synteny blocks. I noticed that another wonderful software Synteny Portal (http://bioinfo.konkuk.ac.kr/synteny_portal) is also your work. The web based Synteny Portal is very fast and the result is clear and nice. However, I want get the synteny blocks between human and macaque (hg19 vs rheMac8), the Synteny Portal gives the results of hg19 vs rheMac3. Thus, I wonder if Synteny Portal can update the database to include more latest genome versions. Besides, i notice that the software inferCARs (Ma et al., 2006, http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/car/) which Synteny Portal used for synteny block detection only needs the chain file and net file from UCSC, can we use mySyntenyPortal with these files instead of original geneome sequences? Furthermore, i can only download chain and net file like hg38.panTro5.all.chain.gz and hg38.panTro5.net.gz, they are not seperated for every chromosome which is required by inferCARs, thus, is it possible to use these files?
Thanks for your help and I'm looking forward to your reply!
