Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Software to make in-scale illustrations of genomic locations
If you can build a Python environment and do a little coding, DnaFeaturesViewer or pyGenomeViz would be good choices. You can generate the following figure from a Genbank file with about 10 lines of code. Of course, you can specify the range of coordinates to be plotted.

How to perform Genome Alignment ?
Do you want to perform a whole genome alignment between species? I often use the following software for genome alignment in prokaryotes and viruses. - MUMmer (pairwise genome Aligner) - progressiveMauve (Multiple Genome Aligner) Due to the high mutation frequency of viral genomes, it is sometimes difficult to compare them at the nucleotide sequence level. Therefore, it may be better to make comparisons at the protein level with MUMmer for viral genomes. I have recently developed the software pyGenomeViz, which automates the process of performing and visualizing whole genome alignments, so check it out if it seems to fit your needs.
