[edit] Overview of EagleView
- EagleView is an information-rich genome assembler viewer. EagleView can display a dozen different types of information including base quality and flowgram signal. It provides an easy way for inspecting visually the quality of a genome assembly and validating polymorphism sites (e.g., SNPs) reported by polymorphism discovery tools. EagleView is a multi-platform application developed with C++ and is available for all three major platforms: Windows, Linux, and Mac.
- EagleView reads multiple data files including the standard ACE genome assembly file and optional READS, EGL, and MAP files. These optional files contain additional information of a genome assembly and can be visualized on EagleView. EagleView was designed with user's needs in mind. All these files are in simple text formats, which make it easy for creating customized data files and visualizing user-defined features on EagleView. The detail format for each type file is described in EagleView documentation. When EagleView opens an ACE file, it will automatically detect and load the associated optional files in the same directory.
