    Genomorama is a software program for interactively displaying multiple genomes. It provides a powerful yet easy to use interface that leverages the visualization power of modern computers (via OpenGL) and the substantial bioinformatic infrastructure provided by the NCBI (via the NCBI C toolkit). Genomorama is written in portable, highly optimized C++ and comes in three "flavors" that allow it to run natively on (most) modern operating systems: OS X (using Carbon), Microsoft Windows (using MFC) and Linux (using Motif). Executables and source code are freely provided for all flavors.

    Features include:
    • Multi-scale rendering that displays relevant details while maintaining readability
    • Attractive Postscript and GIF output formats for publication quality images
    • Standard searching options (like query by sequence and gene name) as well as DNA hybridization based searches: provide a pair of PCR primers, and Genomorama will output the amplicons; provide a hybridization probe and Genomorama will find the binding partners.
    • Display and search of an arbitrary number of genomes (limited only by computer memory)
    • Direct access and search of the NCBI Entrez database
      • - Computation of melting profiles as well as traditional base composition plots (i.e. %G+C, %A+T, etc.)
