* Package name : bandage Version : 0.8.1 Upstream Author : Ryan R. Wick <rrw...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/rrwick/Bandage/ * License : GPL3 Programming Lang: C++ Description : Bioinformatics Application for Navigating De novo Assembly Graphs Easily Bandage is a GUI program that allows users to interact with the assembly graphs made by de novo assemblers such as Velvet, SPAdes, MEGAHIT and others. De novo assembly graphs contain not only assembled contigs but also the connections between those contigs, which were previously not easily accessible. Bandage visualises assembly graphs, with connections, using graph layout algorithms. Nodes in the drawn graph, which represent contigs, can be automatically labelled with their ID, length or depth. Users can interact with the graph by moving, labelling and colouring nodes. Sequence information can also be extracted directly from the graph viewer. By displaying connections between contigs, Bandage opens up new possibilities for analysing and improving de novo assemblies that are not possible by looking at contigs alone. More information and download links are on the Bandage website: rrwick.github.io/Bandage The package is relevant to the field of genome assembly and will be maintained by the Debian Med team.
