I need to draw gene cluster diagrams proportionate to their actual size as shown in the attached picture, is there any way to do it easily, means a software which can help in such drawings with annotating

I'm a big fan of Geneious for my DNA editing needs- they have a free trial on their website.

But I am not able to draw diagrams with proper labelling with Geneious. I used paint but the output images have a resolution of 96 dpi. For publications i need to have diagrams with at least 300 dpi

Well back in my days I just used a vector drawing tool such as Corel Draw or Adobe illustrator and scaled the length of the areas to the bp. I am pretty sure that there are much more sophisticated tools out there, but when I need such an illustration I still pull up my old files, change arrow lengths and annotation. Done.
