Reordering contigs of draft genomes using the Mauve aligner

Bioinformatics. 2009 Aug 15;25(16):2071-3. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btp356. Epub 2009 Jun 10.

Abstract

Summary: Mauve Contig Mover provides a new method for proposing the relative order of contigs that make up a draft genome based on comparison to a complete or draft reference genome. A novel application of the Mauve aligner and viewer provides an automated reordering algorithm coupled with a powerful drill-down display allowing detailed exploration of results.

Availability: The software is available for download at http://gel.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve.
