YMAP

Yeast Mapping Analysis Pipeline

An online webserver for the visualization of yeast genome sequence datasets that provides intuitive maps of aneuploidies and the degree of heterozygosity across all chromosomes.

YMAP detects copy number variations (CNVs) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events in eukaryotic genomes.  It produces maps for lab strains with available haplotype maps and for clinical strains (in which a phylogeny is known). If a reference genome is uploaded, it can map chromosomes for additional yeast genomes.

YMAP was originally designed to work with SNP microarrays (Abbey et al. 2011) and was then modified to use Illumina gDNA input (Abbey et al. 2014).

Examples of informative YMAP output produced by our lab and others include:
