GenePalette is a powerful cross-platform and cross-species desktop application for genome sequence visualization and navigation. 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, 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.
