GenePalette is a powerful cross-platform and cross-species bioinformatics tool
for genome sequence visualization and navigation. Written in Java, this program
allows users on Mac, PC, or UNIX platforms to access genome sequence data quickly
and easily through a unified interface. Users can download from NCBI's GenBank
database large or small segments of genome sequence from a variety of organisms
(e.g., yeast, human, fly, worm, mouse, plants), preserving the gene annotation
that is associated with that sequence. Sequence elements of interest (transcription
factor binding sites and other regulatory motifs, restriction enzyme sites,
primer sequences, SNPs, microsatellites, etc.) can be searched for and identified
in the loaded sequence, and then clearly visualized within a colorful graphical
representation of gene organization and intron/exon structure. Among the many
features that GenePalette provides are intuitive clickable user interface elements;
customizable libraries of user-defined sequence features; the ability to export
both graphical and nucleotide views of genomic sequence data in GIF format;
and a restriction enzyme site library containing more than 200 sites.
