Introduction

CNVVdb is a web interface for identification of putative CNVs among 16 vertebrate species using the-same-species self-alignments and cross-species pairwise alignments. By querying genomic coordinates in the target species, all the potential paralogous/orthologous regions that overlap ³80%~100% (adjustable) of the query sequences with user-specified sequence identity (³60%~³90%) are returned. Additional information is also given for the genes that are included in the returned regions, including gene description, alternatively spliced transcripts, gene ontology descriptions, and other biologically important information. CNVVdb also provides information of pseudogenes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the CNV-related genomic regions. Moreover, multiple sequence alignments of shared CNVs across species are also provided. With the combination of CNV, SNP, pseudogene, and functional information, CNVVdb can be very useful for comparative and functional studies in vertebrates.
