How can I map the location of my gene of interest using syMAP?

Question

[mirza]

I want to map the location of some gene families on a few plant genomes/ chromosomes. These genomes are not available in Ensembl.

1. How can I map the location of my gene of interest on chromosomes/ genomes of plant genomes/ chromosomes using syMAP?

2. what are the other tools?

[Istvan Albert]

Your question is exceedingly broad, there is a manual on how to use the tool:

http://www.agcol.arizona.edu/software/symap/

read that then come back with specific questions.

Ok.

I have gone through the manual and installed the software using the manual. What I want to know precisely is that

1. I have two genomes, but I want to highlight/ mark or show synteny for only a few genes on both the genomes. How can I selectively do this for say 5 genes?
