Meander 1.0 – Visualization of Genomics based on Read Depth (RD) and Pair-End (PE) information

Meander 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Meander is a java standalone application for visualization of genomics based on Read Depth (RD) and Pair-End (PE) information. It is mainly developed to visually discover and explore structural variations in a genome. Meander utilizes both a linear (1024 pixels) and a Hilbert curve-based representation (2D plane of 512×512 pixels) to visualize genomic variations. It is able to show data 5 different resolution levels while it can additionally overlay already predicted variations from external software. It supports a  comparison of four different samples against a common reference simultaneously while it is able to highlihght SVs  supported by double evidence (RD + PE)
