I am looking for a way to align contigs from a de novo assembly against a reference genome and visualize which parts of the genome are covered. Any recommendations?
Thanks

I really like Tablet (http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals...t/btp666v1.pdf) as a genome viewer. I believe it supports ACE, AFG, MAQ, SOAP and SAM formats. -
But Tablet is for viewing individual contigs from assemblies on their own (looking at the reads within a contig).
The question was about comparing the contigs of an assembly against a reference genome. This has similarities to comparing different genomes... maybe ACT (the Artemis Comparison Tool) would be suitable?

We used BLASTn to map ca 2000 contigs against various references.
Visualisation of contig position and the annotated genes in that region was with the R package GenomeGraphs.
I would really recommend this and can send an example script if you pm me with your email address.Comment

What is your average contig length? For contigs assembled from short reads I have been using " bwa bwasw"
It natively produces SAM format which your can convert to BAM and directly view in Tablet/IGVComment

Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...03-21-2023, 01:49 PM -
Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...03-10-2023, 05:31 AM
