I need to align reads to contigs (both in fasta format). Preferably with visualization. I will appreciate suggestions of tools which can do this.

Hi ojy,
you can try use Sequencher (http://genecodes.com/?referrer=20yea...FYdH3godv0BYyQ), in this case you will have mapping and visualization (use the demo version see if it fits your needs).
Another approach is to turn your reads from fasta to fastq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTQ_format),just stick them (reads) quality of 30 for each base and then you can use aligners for NGS (such as bowtie (http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/index.shtml), bwa (http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/bwa.shtml) and then visualize your results with IGV-viewer (http://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/v1.2).

Code:bowtie-build -f contigs.fa contig_bowtie bowtie --sam -f contig_bowtie reads.fa

I use Bowtie as gringer suggested.
Then Tablet to view the sam file. It shows it as a big alignment that you can scroll though.
If you're a biologist (like me) it's worth seeing if your uni has an administered central bio-informatics server that you can use. Having someone else install everything is a massive help.

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
