EnteriX:

The Computational Biology Group Department of Computer Science George Washington University

This site allows comparative views of a reference genome (either E. coli K-12 or O157:H7, S. typhimurium LT2, S. typhi CT18, S. paratyphi A or K. pneumoniae) with sequences from several related bacteria using three different visualization tools. The Enteric server offers large-scale views of pairwise alignments, with point-and-click capabilities to retrieve related gene and alignment information. The Menteric tool displays nucleotide-level multiple alignments of the bacterial sequences, along with regulatory site annotations which the user interested in conservation and functional studies may want to explore further.

Each tool is accompanied by documentation on its features and provides links to related sites of potential interest, for easy navigation.
