What is cct
cct is:
The CGView Comparison Tool (CCT) is a package for visually comparing
bacterial, plasmid, chloroplast, or mitochondrial sequences of interest
to existing genomes or sequence collections. The comparisons are
conducted using BLAST, and the BLAST results are presented in the form
of graphical maps that can also show sequence features, gene and protein
names, COG category assignments, and sequence composition
characteristics. CCT can generate maps in a variety of sizes, including
400 Megapixel maps suitable for posters. Comparisons can be conducted
within a particular species or genus, or all available genomes can be
used. The entire map creation process, from downloading sequences to
redrawing zoomed maps, can be completed easily using scripts included
with the CCT. User-defined features or analysis results can be included
on maps, and maps can be extensively customized. To simplify program
setup, a CCT virtual machine that includes all dependencies preinstalled
is available. Detailed tutorials illustrating the use of CCT are
included with the CCT documentation.
