Contig Viewer (Figure 10) is only included for analysis of assembly studies. This provides an interactive viewer/browser for each contig in the run. The user is able to navigate the contig and the various annotations on it, zooming into individual regions and nucleotides. The list of contigs for  the run is provided on the page, along with  a set of filters to help identify any particular contig of interest.

Figure 10 Contig Viewer: the interactive contig viewer/browser allows the user to select any contig from the study and navigate the various annotations on it. The viewer is shown at the top of the page with the selected contig loaded. There are various navigation aids provided, including a zoom function (highlighted) that allows the user to zoom into the individual nucleotides (see inserted image). On the right of the contig annotation tracks are icons to allow individual selection of display options, such as track size and annotation selections. At the bottom of the page is the list of contigs for the run, including some summary information such as length, coverage and which annotation features it includes. The list of contigs can be filtered based on a number of criteria shown on the left of the list.
