Items for comparison between NGS viewers.

[Martino]

Dear,

At the moment, I am making a report about the comparison of different NGS Viewers.

My question is:

Do you know items or subjects at which I can compare all those NGS viewers with each other for my report?

Thank you for your help!

Homework?

There is an out of date comparison here - note that all these tools have been updated since:

There was a great paper in a Nature Methods supplement last year on genome browsing and browsers: Visualizing genomes: techniques and challenges by Nielsen et al. This is part of a whole supplement on Visualizing Biological Data.
