Visualization of PROKKA Annotation Result?
Hey everyone, so I have an annotation result of bacteria genome from PROKKA. I need to present it in a more readable format instead of just thousands of rows of gene names. Is there a tool I can use to do this? thanks.

You need a genome browser and you can probably use GBK or gff3 format.
Here are some suggestions - I like JBrowse best, Artemis in its day was excellent for bacteria but it is no longer maintained.

Colin's answer is essentially the right one I believe, but the more immediate consideration is: what are you actually trying to show?
Most bacterial genomes are going to be several megabases at least, with most genes averaging about 1 kilobase - consequently, any attempt to visualise the entire annotation map in one go will be completely meaningless as the scales don't play nicely together.
I assume you're interested in some sub-feature, or some abstractable characteristic, so think about visualising this, rather than the genome.
