Giraffe: A tool for comprehensive processing and visualization of multiple long-read sequencing data.

ABSTRACT: Third-generation sequencing techniques have become increasingly popular due to their capacity to produce long, high-quality reads. Effective comparative analysis across various samples and sequencing platforms is essential for understanding biological mechanisms and establishing benchmark baselines. However, existing tools for long-read sequencing predominantly focus on quality control (QC) and processing for individual samples, complicating the comparison of multiple datasets. The lack of comprehensive tools for data comparison and visualization presents challenges for researchers with limited bioinformatics experience. To address this gap, we present Giraffe (https://github.com/lrslab/Giraffe_View), a Python3-based command-line tool designed for comparative analysis and visualization acr
