Whole-genome alignment visualization

Hi all,

I am using Cactus to align whole genome references and I obtained the hal output. After that, I converted in both maf and bigmaf, but I am struggling in finding a tool to visualize it. I want to compare several regions that present tandem repeats, so ideally I would like to zoom in those regions. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried IGV?

Hi, I don't want to visualize Mutation Annotation Format but Multiple Alignment Format, sorry for the confusion. I will give a try to IGV though
