Description
Summo and colleagues launch SynFlow, a web tool that turns genome rearrangement maps from figures into displays researchers can explore live. Structural variants, the inversions, swaps, and insertions or deletions that reshape genomes, are usually plotted as fixed images by the SyRI detection software. Their 2026 article presents a browser app that loads SyRI output and rebuilds those plots as interactive views, shareable by link.
Users can filter events in real time, reorder genomes, and zoom into rearrangements, including the translocations that static plots handle worst. The site offers three doors in. Users can browse ready made datasets such as banana and grapevine genomes. They can upload their SyRI results. Or they can run the built in workflow that detects variants and displays them in one pass. The team shows the tool matching published synteny figures while adding the exploration those figures cannot offer. Source code is public on GitHub.
