OmniMapFree: a unified tool to visualise and explore sequenced genomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a key role in diverse physiological processes and are the targets of almost two-thirds of the marketed drugs. The 3 D structures of GPCRs are largely unavailable; however, a large number of GPCR primary sequences are known. To facilitate the identification and charact...
