A new tool for Mitochondrial Genome Visualization is out in Bioinformatics: "Drawing mitochondrial genomes with circularMT" by Simon J. Goodman and Ian M. Carr. Mitochondrial DNA sequences are essential for phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies. With affordable, high-throughput DNA sequencing and user-friendly bioinformatics pipelines, whole mitochondrial genome analysis has become crucial, especially for taxa with high species diversity but limited other genomic resources. Evaluating structural rearrangements relative to reference taxa is key. CircularMT is an innovative tool that allows researchers to create highly customizable, publication-quality images of linear and circular mitochondrial genome maps, either individually or integrated into an analysis pipeline. Both applications are implemented in C#, with binaries, source code, and user guides available on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/dSRqHtZe. Check out the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/deBdnxTX This tool is a significant advancement for the scientific community, simplifying the visualization process and enhancing the quality of mitochondrial genome studies. Kudos to the authors for this excellent contribution! #Bioinformatics #Genomics #MitochondrialDNA #NextGenerationSequencing #Phylogenetics #ResearchTools #ScienceInnovation #CircularMT
