chromoMap-An R package for Interactive Visualization and Annotation of Chromosomes

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/chromoMap/vignettes/chromoMap.html

chromoMap provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of chromosomes or chromosomal regions allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes,SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot.Each chromosome is composed of loci(representing a specific range determined based on chromosome length) that, on hover, shows details about the annotations in that locus range. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R Shiny applications.

Some of the prominent features of the package are:

  • visualizing polyploidy simultaneously on the same plot.
  • annotating groups of elements as distinct colors.
  • creating chromosome heatmaps.
  • adjusting chromosome range or visualizing chromosome regions such as genes
  • adding labels to the plot
  • adding hyperlinks to each element
