A new functionality of PALOMA: SNPs Overview

PALOMA Evolution tool has been updated with a new functionality: SNPsOverview is a brand new tool which gives users a deeper insight of evolutionary traits of genomes.

After months of bugfix releases, the PALOMA evolutionary tool has significantly evolved and now includes a new functionality called SNPsOverview. This tool allows users to visualize at  a glance:

• local GC content,
• Areas of genomes that are uncovered by NGS reads (might correspond to repeats or large deletion),
• mapping coverage,
• smal variations detected by the PALOMA pipeline,
• and annotations, directly retrieved from the main instance of the MicroScope Platform.

Additional legend (from up to bottom):

• GC content deviation (%)
• uncovered zones, with their positions (begin-end)
  
• coverage along the genome
  
• detected mutations the darker the dot, the bigger the mutation score. Size of the dots are proportional to the number of clones displaying a given mutation (if applicable).
  
• annotation of the genome (CDS, fCDS, rRNA, tRNA, transposases, NFR)
  

All features can be downloaded (see button in the upper part).
