Abstract
Genome sequencing remains an inexact science, and genome sequences can contain significant
errors if they are not carefully examined. Hawkeye is our new visual analytics tool for genome
assemblies, designed to aid in identifying and correcting assembly errors. Users can analyze all levels
of an assembly along with summary statistics and assembly metrics, and are guided by a ranking
component towards likely mis-assemblies. Hawkeye is freely available and released as part of the
open source AMOS project http://amos.sourceforge.net/hawkeye.
