Collection of Graph Visualization tools !

Neel — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 02:57:42 -0600

Standard approaches to genome inference and analysis relate sequences to a single linear reference genome. This is efficient but has a fundamental problem: Differences from this reference are hard to observe and describe in a coherent way. Variation and sequence are separated.
