But because these tools were created for interactive exploration, they are designed to deal with a small number of BAM files at a time. BamView ( Carver et al., 2010) from the Sanger Institute is an interactive Java application Integrative Genomics View (IGV) ( Robinson et al., 2011) from the Broad Institute is coded in Java and JavaScript and supports a graphic user interface for multiple data types including BAM files PyBamViewer ( Gymrek, 2014) is a web-based viewer which provides base-wise alignment plot similar to the samtools view ( Li et al., 2009) and pileup.js ( Vanderkam et al., 2016) is a web-based JavaScript viewer with similar features as IGV.

For instance, the impact of a nearby low-complexity region-which can induce mistaken indel calls-is variable depending on the context and is difficult to incorporate into an algorithm, but it becomes apparent in manual inspection.įor visualizing aligned reads, several methods have been proposed. To ascertain the accuracy of called variants (single nucleotide variants, indels, rearrangement breakpoints, etc.), visual inspection of the read configuration is critical, as it reveals features whose contributions may not have been optimally weighted for a specific variant in the algorithm. Although algorithms for alignment of sequenced reads and identification of genomic variation have improved substantially over the years, the resulting set of variants still contain false positives due to inaccurate alignment (especially near repetitive sequences), incomplete reference sequence, insufficient sequence coverage, PCR duplicates, DNA contamination and other reasons ( Dou et al., 2018 Li, 2014).

With the advances in sequencing technology, an increasingly large number of genomes are being sequenced.
