GenomePixelizer was designed to help in visualizing the relationships between duplicated genes in genome(s) and to follow relationships between members of gene clusters. GenomePixelizer may be useful in the detection of duplication events in genomes, tracking the "footprints" of evolution, as well as displaying the genetic maps and other aspects of comparative genetics. 
GenomePixelizer may be considered a drawing tool that generates custom images of genomes out of the given set of genes. Each element on the picture has a physical address defined by coordinates (pixels), hence the name "GenomePixelizer".

We developed and are using GenomePixelizer to analyze the evolution of NBS-LRR encoding genes in Arabidopsis relative to other genome duplication events.
