遗传连锁图以其简洁明了的表现形式，为基因家族的遗传分析和基因的图位克隆提供了便利。需要一种软件来绘制基因物理图谱，其显示方式类似于遗传连锁图谱，基于基因之间的相对物理距离。虽然GBrowse和MapViewer等工具可以用来绘制基因物理图谱，但它们存在明显的局限性：（1）需要对数据进行预先修饰;（2）用户不能修改结果。为此，我们开发了一个基于Perl和SVG语言的生物辅助绘图软件MapGene 2Chrom。该软件可以根据输入的数据以SVG格式快速绘制相应的物理地图。它具有输入数据格式简单、输出修改方便、可移植性好等优点，将成为绘制基因物理图谱的有力工具。
Genetic linkage map is helpful for analysis on heredity of some gene families and map-based gene cloning because of its simple and elegant manifestation. One software is in need to draw a gene physical map, which shows a manner similar to the genetic linkage map, based on the relative physical distance between genes. Although some tools like GBrowse and MapViewer etc. are available to draw gene physical map, there are obvious limitations for them: (1) the data need to be decorated in advance; (2) users can't modify results. Therefore, we developed a bio-assisted mapping software MapGene2Chrom with PC and web versions, which is based on Perl and SVG languages. The software can be used to draw the corresponding physical map quickly in SVG format based on the input data. It will become a useful tool for drawing gene physical map with the advantages of simple input data format, easily modified output and very good portability.
