CoMetGeNe
(Conserved Metabolic and Genomic
Neighborhoods) is an exploration tool for conserved organizational
motifs at both the metabolic and genomic level. For more details, check

The CoMetGeNe
logo is a stylized depiction of a gene with a
comet tail, flying through interstellar void. :-) Although stylized, the
representation is accurate, because comet tails come in two main
varieties:
dust tails, which have a yellowish hue, and gas (or ion) tails, which
are quite often blue. Moreover, contrary to
popular belief, as a mix of rock, ice, and gases, comets do not
burn with flames (which is why the
CoMetGeNe logo uses cool colors
rather than warm ones). Well, unless they get too close to the sun,
that is.
