As a consequence the demand for methods supporting comparative, evolutionary analysis is also growing. In particular, efficient tools to visualize-omics data simultaneously for multiple species are sorely lacking. A first and crucial step in this direction is the construction of a common coordinate system. Since genomes not only differ by rearrangements but also by large insertions, deletions, and duplications, the use of a single reference genome is insufficient, in particular when the number of species becomes large %K Comparative genomics %K Comparative transcriptomics %K Big data %K Graph theory %K Betweenness ordering %K Colored multigraph %K Combinatorial optimization %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6151955/
