Reordering contigs of draft genomes using the Mauve aligner

Anna I Rissman et al. Bioinformatics. .

Abstract

Summary: Mauve Contig Mover provides a new method for proposing the relative order of contigs that make up a draft genome based on comparison to a complete or draft reference genome. A novel application of the Mauve aligner and viewer provides an automated reordering algorithm coupled with a powerful drill-down display allowing detailed exploration of results.

Availability: The software is available for download at http://gel.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve.
