About EagleView
EagleView is an information-rich viewer for next-generation genome assembles with data integration capability. EagleView can display a dozen different types of information including base qualities, machine specific trace signals, and genome feature annotations. It provides an easy way for inspecting visually the quality of a genome assembly and validating polymorphism candidate sites (e.g., SNPs) reported by polymorphism discovery tools. It can also facilitate data interpretation and hypothesis generation. EagleView is a multi-platform application developed with C++ and is available for all three major platforms: Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
Key Features
fast and memory efficient
genome annotation integration
pin-point view of machine-specific signals
pin-point view of base quality
pin-point view of read id and strand
distinct mark for discrepancy sites
navigation by read id and contig id
data utility tools included
navigation by genomic features or user defined locations
zooming and printing capability
navigation by both unpadded and padded positions
customizable font and color for viewer
