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