Plot conserved gene pattern cross multiple species

Understanding the conservation of gene neighborhoods across species provides important insights into genome organization, functional linkage, and evolutionary processes. This package is developed to facilitate the systematic characterization of orthologous gene arrangements surrounding a focal gene across multiple species. Based on the orthology information, geneClusterPattern constructs an ordered representation of genes within a configurable genomic window upstream and downstream of the focal gene. The resulting ortholog gene pattern captures the relative arrangement of ortholog groups across species, enabling direct comparison of local genomic structure.
