GMV is a comparative genome browser for Murasaki. GMV visualizes anchors from Murasaki, annotation data from GenBank files, and expression / prediction score from GFF files.

GMV works on any platform which has GTK+-2.10 or later. Currently, MacOS X, FreeBSD and Linux are supported. Also, experimental build for Microsoft Windows is available.

News

GMV's version number is in exponential form, so I expect 90+ updates before its first production release (1.0)... Maybe 2 or more years.

License

GMV is provided under Beerware License. However, binary package for MacOS X is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), since MacOS X package (gmv.app) is based on Platypus. Sample data contains genome sequences from NCBI.

Download GMV

Binary downloads are available for MacOS X (10.4 / 10.5) and Windows (2000 and later). Source tarball is available for other platforms.

Microbial builds

Lower RAM requirement, but length of each sequence is limited up to 2Gbp. Suitable for most microbial genome analysis.

Requirements

Build Instruction

First, make sure you have:

$ tar xzf gmv.tar.gz
$ cd gmv
$ vi Gmv.conf

Important lines are:

CC = ccache g++-4.0
CC_WINDOWS = g++
# CFLAGS += -DUSE_GLIB_REGEX

Set CC to your C++ compiler (if you're trying to build on MinGW, set CC_WINDOWS instead.) Also, you may have to uncomment CFLAGS += -DUSE_GLIB_REGEX, if your system doesn't have regex.h (I believe most Unix based system have this, but at least, MinGW doesn't.)

Then, just type

$ make

and you'll get the binary "gmv" in current directory. Move it anywhere you like (maybe somewhere in your PATH) and launch gmv.

To get stripped (and Universal one on MacOS X) binary, type

$ make RELEASE=yes

Stripped binary will be much smaller (and maybe faster) than normal build.
