Pan-Tetris
Pan-Tetris is our interactive software tool that enables the visual inspection of gene occurrences in a pan-genome table. It allows the user to modify the composition of such pan gene groups with an aggregation technique that is inspired by the famous Tetris game.

Using Pan-Tetris
You can download Pan-Tetris as a single executable Java application
Pan-Tetris requires a functional Java 7 Runtime Environment (JRE 7) installed.
After starting Pan-Tetris you may load a dataset of your choice using the ”Open” button or the File Menu available in the graphical user interface.
Material
All of the sample material referenced in the Pan-Tetris paper can be downloaded here. The sample data is available in ZIP compressed format, including two pan-genome tables created by our pan-genome computation method PanGee (unpublished software) and TIGRFAM annotations for all these genomes using HMMER3.
Example Screencast
To give end users a more detailed overview of the capabilities of Pan-Tetris, we produced a small webcast, introducing the most prominent features of Pan-Tetris in a short video you may watch here:
