Tools for Comparative Genomics

VISTA is a comprehensive suite of programs and databases for comparative analysis of genomic sequences. There are two ways of using VISTA - you can submit your own sequences and alignments for analysis (VISTA servers) or examine pre-computed whole-genome alignments of different species.

 

Submit Your Sequences

mVISTA

  • mVISTA

    Align and compare your sequences from multiple species

  • rVISTA

    Locate regulatory sequences in your data using comparative sequence analysis and transcription factor binding site search.

  • GenomeVISTA

    Compare your sequences against whole-genome assemblies.

  • wgVISTA

    Align pair of sequences up to 10Mb long (finished or draft) including microbial whole-genome assemblies.

 

Precomputed Alignments

VISTA Browser

  • VISTA-Point

    Access complete data and visual presentation of pairwise and multiple alignments of whole genome assemblies.

  • VISTA Browser

    Examine pre-computed pairwise and multiple alignments of whole genome assemblies.

  • Whole Genome rVISTA

    Identify transcription factor binding sites that are conserved between species and over-represented in upstream regions of groups of genes.

  • Microbial Genomes

    Access pre-computed full scaffold alignments for microbial genomes through the VISTA component of IMG.

 

New tool from VISTA family!

RViewer iconVISTA Region Viewer (RViewer) is an interactive on-line tool for comparing and prioritizing genomic intervals.

Updates

September 2011
Updated the Cassava, Foxtail millet, Wine grape, and Maize assemblies, and added new plants: Columbine, Sweet orange, Eucalyptus, and Peach.

106 New whole-genome plant alignments are added to VISTA Browser.

August 2011
rVISTA is now using the TRANSFAC Professional Release 2011.2 library.

May 2011
Added the Human Feb. 2009 - Gorilla Dec. 2009 pairwise alignment.
