• DNA/DNA comparisons– Pairwise and multiple alignments– Constrained elements between genomes
• Protein/protein comparisons– Ortholog/Paralog calculation– Gene Tree
• Synteny– Accessible as raw data in the database

DNA/DNA comparison
• Pairwise comparison– tBLAT between all VectorBase organisms
• Multiple alignments– Pecan 3-way alignments for the mosquito genomes
• Constrained elements- Highly conserved elements between the three mosquito genomes
=> Accessible through ContigView pages

Comparative data tracks are not switched on bydefault, so you will need to switch them on:
ContigView: displaying comparative data
1. On the ContigView page,2. In the ‘Detailed view’ section,3. Under the ‘Comparative’ menu,4. Select the tracks you wish to see,5. Close the menu.6. The page will refresh showingthe new tracks selected.

tBLAT alignments
The pink rectangles indicatesimilarity between the referencegenome (in this case Anophelesgambiae) and Drosophilamelanogaster [Dmel],Culex quinquefasciatus [Cpip],and Aedes aegypti [Aaeg].
Switch on the ‘tBLAT’ tracks in the‘Comparative’ menu of the ‘DetailedView’section
