MOTIVATION
High throughput bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) is an important technology to generate single-base DNA methylomes in both plants and animals. In order to accelerate the data analysis of BS-seq data, toolkits for visualization are required.
RESULTS
ViewBS, an open-source toolkit, can extract and visualize the DNA methylome data easily and with flexibility. By using Tabix, ViewBS can visualize BS-seq for large datasets quickly. ViewBS can generate publication-quality figures, such as meta-plots, heat maps and violin-boxplots, which can help users to answer biological questions. We illustrate its application using BS-seq data from Arabidopsis thaliana.

动机
高通量亚硫酸氢盐测序（BS-seq）是在植物和动物中生成单碱基 DNA 甲基化组的重要技术。为了加速 BS-seq 数据的数据分析，需要可视化工具包。
结果
ViewBS 是一个开源工具包，可以轻松、灵活地提取和可视化 DNA 甲基化组数据。通过使用 Tabix，ViewBS 可以快速可视化大型数据集的 BS-seq。ViewBS 可以生成出版质量的图形，如图谱、热图和小提琴箱线图，这可以帮助用户回答生物学问题。我们使用来自拟南芥的 BS-seq 数据来说明其应用。
