The Contig Overlap Linkout Service serves data from the Contig Overlaps
database, which describes relationships of components in contigs for
several of the public builds at NCBI. The preferred mechanism to view
these alignments is the Multi-pane Cross Alignment
Viewer, available in Genome Workbench from the View
-> New Composite View -> Multi-pane Cross Alignment View.
The accession pair AC124664.14 and AC132830.12 represents a clean, basic
example of overlaps between components. The alignment between the
two sequences contains two gaps - one of 84 bases, one of 1 base.

The accession pair AC149590.5 and AC107631.19 represents an alignment of two components of mixed orientation - one sequence aligns to the opposite strand of the other. This alignment contains a single gap of 115 bases.

The accession pair AC122414.4 and AC142271.3 shows a combination of two
half-dovetail alignments, on a pair of sequences in mixed
orientation.

The accession pair AC157603.4 and AC130208.3 shows a set of overlaps in a complex, repetitive region. The alignment, as a result, contains a number of gaps.
