CGView – Overview

OverviewCGView is a Java package for generating high quality, zoomable maps of circular genomes. Its primary purpose is to serve as a component of sequence annotation pipelines, and as a means of generating visual output suitable for the web. Feature information and rendering options are supplied to the program using an XML file or a tab-delimited file. CGView converts the input into a graphical map (PNG, JPG, or SVG format), complete with labels, a title, legends, and footnotes. In addition to the default full view map, the program can generate a series of hyperlinked maps showing expanded views. The linked maps can be explored using any web browser, allowing rapid genome browsing, and facilitating data sharing. The feature labels in maps can be hyperlinked to external resources, allowing CGView maps to be integrated with existing web site content or databases. For examples of the various output types, see the CGView gallery.

In addition to the CGView application, an API is available for generating maps from within other Java applications, using the cgview package.

CGView can be used for any of the following:
