VectorBase
• DNA/DNA comparison– Pairwise and multiple alignments
– Constrained elements
• Protein/protein comparison– Orthologs/Paralogs
– Gene Tree
• Synteny– Accessible as raw data in the database

VectorBase
• Comparative data was generated by running theEnsembl Compara pipeline :
http://www.ensembl.org/info/about/docs/compara/index.html
• Accessible from the ContigView[1] and theGeneView[2] pages, as well as from the left handmenu of the GeneView page.

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

• Comparative data tracks are not switched on bydefault, so you will need to switch them on:
ContigView: displaying the comparative data
1. In the Contig View,2. In the ‘Detailed View’ section,3. Under the ‘Comparative’ menu,4. Select the tracks you want to see,5. Close the menu6. The new tracks will appear.

VectorBase
Protein/protein comparison
• Orthologs and paralogs– Orthologs between all the VectorBase organisms,
plus Drosophila, Human and C.elegans
– Paralogs within species, for all the VectorBaseorganisms, plus Drosophila, Human and C.elegans
• Gene Tree- Visualisation of the gene families
=> Accessible from GeneView

Orthologs/paralogs
In the GeneView page
1. Click on the orthologs/paralogsto see the GeneView page of thesegenes.
2. Click on ‘MultiContigView’to see both genes in this view
3. Click on ‘Align’ to see thealignment (in various formats)
4. Click on ‘View alignment ofHomologies’ to see all the pairwisealignments
