PanGeneHome : A Web Interface to Analyze Microbial Pangenomes

International audiencePanGeneHome is a web server dedicated to the analysis of available microbial pangenomes. For any prokaryotic taxon with at least three sequenced genomes, PanGeneHome provides (i) conservation level of genes, (ii) pangenome and core-genome curves, estimated pangenome size and other metrics, (iii) dendrograms based on gene content and average amino acid identity (AAI) for these genomes, and (iv) functional categories and metabolic pathways represented in the core, accessory and unique gene pools of the selected taxon. In addition, the results for these different analyses can be compared for any set of taxa. With the availability of 615 taxa, covering 182 species and 49 orders, PanGeneHome provides an easy way to get a glimpse on the pangenome of a microbial group of interest. The server and its documentation are available at http://pangenehome.lmge.uca.fr
