Figure 4

Context variations: gaps and breaks in assembly. In this prototype visual encoding, each horizontal line represents a portion of a neighborhood around orthologs, in 3 bacterial strains. Orthologs have the same color and label. These context variations in neighborhoods indicate potential errors in data generation. The first, shows a gaps in strain 2, highlighted with a pink box, when compared to strains 1 and 3, indicating a potential errors in genome data generation. The second, illustrates breaks in genome assembly, and shows how comparative views may help users resolve such breaks.
