Application Description

maze visualizes exact matches between two DNA sequences as a dotplot. Longer match lengths reduce noise; shorter lengths reveal smaller local matches.

  • Set the match length and click Launch Analysis.
  • Use zoom/pan on the plot to inspect regions of interest.
  • Download the visualization as PNG or SVG from the Results tab.

Accepted Input

Raw DNA sequences or FASTA files (plain text or gzip). Only the DNA alphabet {A, C, G, T} is accepted.
