  • Alignment Visualization

    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?
      I'm sorry, your page cannot be found on this site.

        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.

          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/IGV

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
