5. Graphical output

phyloMOD.pl has a graphical output: a vector graphic picture depicted with Grace tool.
Follows an example:


Graphical output of a pairwise comparison between mouse and dog orthologous sequences, Sp5 gene and 5kb upstream and downstream it. Top axis represents mouse DNA, while bottom axis represents dog DNA.
Gene has been depicted in each axis in the following way: cyan stands for UTR region and violet stands for exonic region (this information is provided with annotation files). Gaps, present in dog DNA, are depicted with black stripes on the corresponding axis.
Corresponding modules are connected by lines. Each line corresponds to a hit. Hits in the same module have the same color.

Zooming the picture on the pink and red module:


We can notice each module is composed by two hits, one of which is very strong: thicker is the line stronger is the hit.
Both are likely modules. Thicker hits are likely to contain more than one binding site. For this reason even single hits may constitute a "module": it has to be at least 50bp long.
