seqhiker

Genome browser for FASTA, annotation, BAM, and VCF files, with a stacked genome comparison view.

Documentation: https://seqhiker.readthedocs.io/en/

Quick Start

Install

1. Go to the latest release.
2. Download the build for your operating system and architecture.
3. Open the app.

View genomes

1. Launch seqhiker.
2. Drag and drop your files into the window.

A sequence file must be included, for example FASTA, GenBank, EMBL, or a GFF3 file with embedded sequence.

Typical files:

• FASTA
• GenBank
• EMBL
• GFF3
• BAM (sorted and indexed)
• VCF

seqhiker will load the files and open the matching genome view.

A standalone GFF3 with an embedded ##FASTA section is treated as a sequence-bearing genome file.

You can also switch to Comparison view in the toolbar and add genomes one-by-one to compare them.
