3 CView is a web-based comparative viewer for mapping data, including
4 genetic, physical and cytological maps, that is part of the [SGN
5 website](http://solgenomics.net) but that can also be installed and
6 adapted for other websites. In addition to viewing and comparing
7 different maps stored in the SGN database, the viewer allows users to
8 upload their own maps and compare them to other maps in the
9 system. The viewer is implemented in object-oriented Perl, with a
10 simple extensible interface to write data adapters for other
11 relational database schemas and flat file formats
15 With the rapid accumulation of genetic data for a multitude of different
16 species, the availability of intuitive comparative genomic tools becomes an
17 important requirement for the research community.
