BARLEX – the Barley Draft Genome Explorer

Genome browsers visualize the end product of genome assembly, which is a highly contiguous sequence. However, how to visualize the intermediate products of genome sequencing? Next-generation sequencing has enabled genome sequencing in species with huge genomes, but most often the shotgun assemblies obtained from short-read sequence data do not meet the quality standards required for finished reference sequences. In particular, many plant genomes...
