We describe BugView, a cross-platform application for presenting and comparing the genomes of bacteria or eukaryotes. We give particular emphasis to its use in comparing the genes of related bacterial genomes, and consider different methods of automating the preparation of genome comparison files, including a new web-based facility. Ways of using BugView to study and present the internal structure of genomes are also discussed. BugView/weB, a Java applet for web deployment of BugView files, is presented for the first time.

Unlabelled: BugView is a Java application for visualizing homologous genes on a pair of related genomes, and can also be used to view individual genomes. It accepts files of prokaryotic or eukaryotic genomes in GenBank format and allows users to assign homologous pairs, and make and save annotations.
