2018 International Cotton Genomics Initiative Conference May 28 – June 1, Edinburgh, Scotland

2. Introduction
Assessment of synteny between related genome sequences, coupled with software to visualize these relationships can facilitate understanding of genome and gene family evolution
Synteny between the 6 publicly available cotton genomes was identified using the Multiple Collinearity Scan toolkit v1.0 (Wang et al, 2012)
Synteny results are displayed using the Tripal Synteny Viewer
(Fei lab, Boyce Thomson Institute) with links to the gene and associated information in CottonGen
