What is CoGes sequence analysis workflow or pipeline?
While we designed CoGe to make it easy to find and comparing genomic sequences, there is no single, linear workflow through the system. Instead, CoGe’s tools create an open-ended analysis network. There are central tools and access points that allow you to access the system to find sequences of interest, and “hub” points to take you from one part of the system to another. This allows for ideas to be generated while working CoGe, and be able to quickly branch out to investigate any number of interesting phenomena you find. An analysis ends when you have your answer. For example, you start with your favorite genome (mouse), do a whole genome comparison of it to human using SynMap, identify a region with an inversion, compare the breakpoints of that region in high-detail using GEvo, extract out the human sequence using SeqView, find all the protein coding regions using FeatView, use them to find homologs in other vertebrate genomes (e.g. chimp, mouse, and platypus) using CoGeBlast, valida
