  • Title: webMGR: an online tool for the multiple genome rearrangement problem.
    Author: Lin CH, Zhao H, Lowcay SH, Shahab A, Bourque G.
    Journal: Bioinformatics; 2010 Feb 01; 26(3):408-10. PubMed ID: 20022974.
    Abstract:
    SUMMARY: The algorithm MGR enables the reconstruction of rearrangement phylogenies based on gene or synteny block order in multiple genomes. Although MGR has been successfully applied to study the evolution of different sets of species, its utilization has been hampered by the prohibitive running time for some applications. In the current work, we have designed new heuristics that significantly speed up the tool without compromising its accuracy. Moreover, we have developed a web server (webMGR) that includes elaborate web output to facilitate navigation through the results. AVAILABILITY: webMGR can be accessed via http://www.gis.a-star.edu.sg/~bourque. The source code of the improved standalone version of MGR is also freely available from the web site. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
