DESCRIPTION

Pls see Vista documentation for plotfile options

Wrapper for Vista :

C. Mayor, M. Brudno, J. R. Schwartz, A. Poliakov, E. M. Rubin, K. A. Frazer, L. S. Pachter, I. Dubchak. VISTA: Visualizing global DNA sequence alignments of arbitrary length. Bioinformatics, 2000 Nov;16(11):1046-1047. Get it here: http://www-gsd.lbl.gov/vista/VISTAdownload2.html

On the command line, it is assumed that this can be executed:

java Vista plotfile

Some of the code was adapted from MLAGAN toolkit

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
