SyMAP supplies scripts to convert from NCBI or Ensembl files to SyMAP input. The following two links describe how to download the files, convert them with the SyMAP supplied script, and input them to SyMAP.

As of 15-Aug_2022, these scripts have been tested on the following:
GenomeNCBI*Ensembl~Length
Arabidopsis thalianaChr 1-5Chr 1-5   119M
Oryza Sativa (rice) Chr 1-12Chr 1-12   373M
Solanum tuberosum (potato)Scafs 14,852Chr 0-12   800M
Solanum lycopersicum (tomato)Chr 1-12Chr 1-12   807M
Caenorhabditis elegansChr I,II,III,IV,XChr I,II,III,IV,X   100M
Sus scrofa (pig)Chr 1-18, X, YChr 1-18, X, Y2,435M
Danio rerio (zebrafish) Chr 1-25Chr 1-251,345M
Bemisia tabaci (whitefly)Scafs 19,750Scafs 227   615M
*Only download A was tested on all genomes, but download B was tested for rice.

These were all converted and loaded into SyMAP, but only the smaller ones were analyzed for synteny.

There may be variations that I did not account for, hence, you may want to edit the script to tailor it. Alternatively, you can contact me (symap@agcol.arizona.edu) and I will make the edit for you.

The two scripts are very similar except some of their keywords and naming conventions vary. Also, ConvertNCBI detects different products of the mRNAs for the same gene, and condenses them to one. It also allows hard-masking of a soft-masked genome sequence, which is not necessary for Ensembl since it offers both types of files.
