Project Description

ABySS-Explorer is an interactive Java application that employs a novel graph-based representation to display a sequence assembly and associated meta data. The tool was designed with the ABySS sequence assembler in mind and was motivated by the need to examine assembly structure, in particular contig connectivity and supporting paired-end read relationships. 

Two test data sets are available: Human BAC clone assembly, E.coli genome assembly
