YouGenMap is a genetic map viewer that lets users upload, display, download, update, share, and compare sets of mapping and marker annotation data. With YouGenMap, genetic maps and their annotations become dynamic community assets. This is possible because users can upload and display maps within minutes, view comparisons with other maps, download sets of map and annotation data (mapsets), and upload revised versions of any mapset. See here for the file formats we support for upload.

YouGenMap has flexible options for displaying correspondences among maps, which currently includes nine types of marker, sequence, and gene identifiers. Mapped features can be annotated with additional types of information. Clicking on a feature in a displayed map will show its annotations and map data. YouGenMap’s correspondence drawing function provides a powerful tool for comparative mapping. Researchers can use comparative mapping to detect conservation of gene order between species or detect variations of marker order between different pedigrees or mapping methods within a species. While various map drawing programs and web services can be used for comparative mapping, they are either platform-specific (i.e., MapChart) or require intervention by a database manager (i.e., CMap, NCBI Map Viewer).
