BRIG

http://brig.sourceforge.net/

BRIG is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix) application that can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data. The application is available at:http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig

If you have any questions or comments, post them on one of the trackers on BRIG’s SourceForge page:http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245.

Features:

  • Images show similarity between a central reference sequence and other sequences as concentric rings.
  • BRIG will perform all BLAST comparisons and file parsing automatically via a simple GUI.
  • Contig boundaries and read coverage can be displayed for draft genomes; customized graphs and annotations can be displayed.
  • Using a user-defined set of genes as input, BRIG can display gene presence, absence, truncation or sequence variation in a set of complete genomes, draft genomes or even raw, unassembled sequence data.
  • BRIG also accepts SAM-formatted read-mapping files enabling genomic regions present in unassembled sequence data from multiple samples to be compared simultaneously
