SeqMonk is a Java application for visualising and analysing mapped sequence data.
It’s designed for high throughput sequencing experiments and works with datasets that can be represented as genomic positions, letting users explore aligned reads against annotated genomes and carry out downstream quantitative and statistical analysis within the same program.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Imports mapped sequence data from formats such as BAM, SAM, and Bowtie.
- Creates data groups to support visualisation and comparative analysis workflows.
- Quantitates mapped data flexibly so different datasets can be compared.
- Performs statistical analyses to identify regions of interest.
- Generates reports containing both experimental data and genome annotation.
- Some functionality can make use of a local R installation.
