[HELP] Synteny software to track duplication events

[Alexus]

Hi there,
i am completely new in the field of bioinformatics, and therefore would be very grateful if someone could help me with my issue.

I am desperately looking for a synteny software which allows me to track, & visualize duplication events (of the size 200-400bp) and their relations on genome scale (even though the duplicated regions possess ~20% ambiguities in their sequences).
It would be great if i could for example feed the software with an input file containing several sequences of related duplication events and than screen the gDNA for further related events.
I would be very thankful for any help!

Best wishes,
Alexus

synteny

I look into iAdHore.

I look into iAdHore.

Thanks a lot, i had a look in the manual But i was not able to install it on windows7 64x system? Is there a possibility or does it only run under Linux?
Thanks in advance!

Linux

Most likely as most open source software is meant for unix or mac (linux under the hood).

I strongly recommend you build/buy a linux box and learn how to navigate a terminal and perform simple scripting. It will make your exploration of data much more pleasurable.

Best of luck

Yes, thats probably the most clever way to do it,thanks! I will definitely try to adopt at least some basic skills in near future.
Best wishes,
