Synteny detection, visualization, and its trending applications.

Synteny detection analyses facilitate comparative genomics, especially when investigating gene duplications, genomic rearrangements, and ancient whole-genome duplication events. In recent years, major advancements have been seen in synteny detection and visualization. In this forum article, we explore the trending role that these tools play in gene-duplication detection, pangenome graph construction, and deep-learning-based cross-species transcript prediction.
