XdomView: protein domain and exon position visualization.
CONCLUSIONS
The relationship between intron distribution in the eukaryotic gene and protein structural elements is essential for understanding the origin and evolution of genes. XdomView is a web-based viewer mapping protein structural domains and intron positions in eukaryotic homologues to its tertiary structure. The association of sequence signals to 3D structure in XdomView provides a valuable visualization environment for eukaryotic gene organization, gene evolution, protein folding and protein structure classification.
