To satisfy the impending need for deciphering the large-scale data generated from next-generation sequencing, a sophisticated software MagicViewer is developed to easily visualize the short reads alignment, identify the genetic variation and associate with the annotation information of reference genome. MagicViewer provides a user-friendly interface in which large-scale short reads and sequencing depth can be easily visualized in zoomable images under user definable color scheme through an operating system-independent manner with the implement of Java language. Meanwhile, it holds a versatile genetic variation annotation and visualization interface, providing details of the query options, functional classifications, subset selection, sequence association and primer design.
Highlights of MagicViewer:
· Provided a user-friendly interface with memory efficient to display large-scale short reads, obtaining from high-throughput sequencing.
· Powerful visualization property for graphical visualization of genetic variation and associated annotation information.
· Flexible customizable configure supports zooming, font and colors definition schemes.
· Employed the SAM format instead of native format to compact with other software with respect to input/output data format.
· Different visualization section is design as tracks, allowing adding, deleting and rearranging.
· Written in Java programming language and can be performed in an operating system-independent manner for which a Java virtual machine is available.
· Introduced the workspace where users can easy create new project, save the intermediate result.
