Abstract Tools for visualizing genomes are essential investigating genomic features and their interactions. Currently, tools designed originally animal mitogenomes plant plastomes used to visualize the mitogens of plants but cannot accurately display specific mitogenomes, such as nonlinear exon arrangement genes, prevalence functional noncoding complex chromosomal architecture. To address these problems, a software package, mitochondrial genome map (PMGmap), was developed using Python programming language. PMGmap can draw genes at levels; cis‐ trans‐splicing gene maps, repetitive sequences; scale genic regions by scaling on mitogenome (SAGM) algorithm. It also multiple chromosomes simultaneously. Compared with other state‐of‐the‐art tools, showed better performance in 405 showing potential an invaluable tool research.
