Abstract

CMap is a web-based tool for displaying and comparing maps of any type and from any species. A user can compare an unlimited number of maps, view pair-wise comparisons of known correspondences, and search for maps or for features by name, species, type and accession. CMap is freely available, can run on a variety of database engines and uses only free and open software components.

Many of the key concepts of CMap are shown. Five maps of varying types from QTL to genetic to sequence and from two species are displayed, and more could be added. Map features range from QTLs to genetic markers to bins to genes, and correspondences based on different types of evidence are show in varying colors (http://www.gramene.org/db/cmap).
