MyGV is an application to visualize (potentially genome-scale) gene structure annotation and prediction. The output of any external gene prediction program can be easily converted to a generalized format for input into MyGV. The application displays all input simultaneously in graphical representation, with a toggle option for a text-based view. Zooming capabilities allow detailed comparisons for specific genome locations. The tool is particularly helpful for refinement of ab initio predicted gene structures by spliced alignment with cDNA or protein homologs.
