Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA sequences are used extensively in phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies for a wide range of organisms. With the advent of low-cost, high throughput ‘next generation’ DNA sequencing, and user-friendly bioinformatics pipelines for generating and annotating whole mitochondrial genome assemblies, the analysis of whole mitochondrial genomes has become an important component of phylogenomic studies for taxa with high species diversity but limited coverage for other genomic resources. An important step in characterizing de novo mitochondrial genome assemblies is to evaluate and describe structural rearrangements relative to reference taxa. Accessible tools are needed to help visualize gene and noncoding feature complement, their order and strand orientation. However, there are few dedicated applications that generate high quality genome diagrams. Here we present circularMT and circularMT-console that allow users to create highly customizable, publication quality images, of linear and circular mitochondrial genome maps, either individually, or integrated into an analysis pipeline.
