View metagenomics data with this tool. Strainer is a multi-platform visualization tool for metagenomics data. It allows the user to easily browse the variation present in shotgun sequence data from non-clonal samples.

Strainer is a viewer for metagenomic data (shotgun, fosmid and GS20). It provides a useful graphical display of assembled sequence reads and a simple set of tools for exploring and manipulating such data. As a Java application, Strainer is platform agnostic. Strainer uses BioJava to read FASTA and GENBANK files as well as BLAST output and ACE formatted assembly files.

Strainer helps the user build up groups of similar sequences by associating reads with similar patterns of Differences. When multiple reads are grouped together, they become a "Strain".
