Abstract

The volume and pace of data accumulation from high-throughput sequencing studies have been amplified by recent rapid technological advances in biological sciences. Visualization of genomic data is essential for quality control, exploration, and interpretation. Here, we describe a user-friendly visualization tool for variant call format (VCF) files with which the users can interactively evaluate and share genomic data, as well as create publication quality graphics.
