BugView: a tool for genome visualization and comparison.
We describe BugView, a cross-platform application for presenting and comparing the genomes of bacteria or eukaryotes. We give particular emphasis to its use in comparing the genes of related bacterial genomes, and consider different methods of automating the preparation of genome comparison files, including a new web-based facility. Ways of using BugView to study and present the internal structure of genomes are also discussed. BugView/weB, a Java applet for web deployment of BugView files, is presented for the first time.
