Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of viral samples generates results dispersed across multiple files-genome assembly, variant calling, and functional annotations-making integrated interpretation challenging. Variants often yield numerous low-frequency or non-significant variants, yet only a small fraction are biologically relevant. Virologists must manually sift through extensive data to identify meaningful mutations, a time-consuming and error-prone process. To address these practical challenges, we developed vvv2_display, a dedicated summarization and visualization tool, integrated within comprehensive Galaxy workflows. Results: vvv2_display streamlines variant interpretation by consolidating key results into two concise and interoperable outputs. The first output is a PNG image showing alignment coverage depth and genomic annotations, with significant variants displayed along the genome as symbols whose height reflects frequency and shape indicates the affected protein. At a glance, this enables virologists to identify all deviations from a reference viral genome. Each significant variant is assigned a unique identifier that directly links to the second output: a tab-separated (TSV) text file listing only high-confidence variants, with frequencies, flanking nucleotides, and impacted genes and proteins. This cross-referenced design supports rapid, accurate, and intuitive data exploration. Availability: vvv2_display is open source, available on Github and installable via Mamba.
