Bandage

What is Bandage?

Bandage (a Bioinformatics Application for Navigating De novo Assembly Graphs Easily), is a program that creates interactive visualisations of assembly graphs. Sequence assembler programs (such as Velvet, SPAdes, Trinity and MEGAHIT) carry out assembly by building a graph, from which contigs are generated. By granting easy access to these assembly graphs, Bandage allows users to better understand, troubleshoot and improve their assemblies.

Bandage allows users to zoom and pan around the graph, customise the view, search for sequences, extract sequences, and more.
