The evolution of sequencing technology has lead to an enormous increase in the number of genomes that have been sequenced. This is\nespecially true in the field of virus genomics. In order to extract meaningful biological information from these genomes, whole genome\ndata mining software tools must be utilized. Hundreds of tools have been developed to analyze biological sequence data. However,\nonly some of these tools are user-friendly to biologists. Several of these tools that have been successfully used to analyze adenovirus\ngenomes are described here. These include Artemis, EMBOSS, pDRAW, zPicture, CoreGenes, Gene Order, and PipMaker. These tools\nprovide functionalities such as visualization, restriction enzyme analysis, alignment, and proteome comparisons that are extremely\nuseful in the bioinformatics analysis of adenovirus genomes.
