Blobsplorer

Jit — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 10:28:58 -0500

Blobsplorer is a tool for interactive visualization of assembled DNA sequence data ("contigs") derived from (often unintentionally) mixed-species pools. It allows the simultaneous display of GC content, coverage, and taxonomic annotation for collections of contigs with a view to separating out those belonging to different taxa.

Blobsplorer is unlikely to be of use on its own as it requires contig data to be supplied in a format that involves considerable preprocessing (see below for a description). The easiest way to use Blobsplorer is as part of a workflow using scripts from here.

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

Jit — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 10:45:31 -0500

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

Circleator

Jit — Sun, 25 Jun 2017 18:04:32 -0500

The Charm City Circleator--or Circleator for short--is a Perl-based visualization tool developed at the Institute for Genome Sciences in the University of Maryland's School of Medicine. Circleator produces circular plots of genome-associated data, like this one:

Common uses of the tool include:

Displaying the sequence and/or genes in a GenBank flat file.
Highlighting differences and/or similarities in gene content between related organisms.
Comparing SNPs and indels between closely-related strains or serovars.
Comparing gene expression values across multiple samples or timepoints.
Visualizing coverage plots of RNA-Seq read alignments.

Key Features

Circleator...

Builds on BioPerl and the input file formats that it supports, including:
- GenBank flat files, GFF, FASTA
Accepts a number of other commonly-used datatypes and file formats:
- BSR and TRF output, SAM/BAM files, VCF-encoded SNPs, tab-delimited files
Outputs publication-ready figures in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.
Requires only a single configuration file whose layout mirrors that of the figure itself.
- Predefined configuration files and "track" types are supplied for common datasets.
- Advanced features allow limited analyses to be performed as a figure is drawn.
Includes an extensive set of regression tests.
Offers a prototype web-based GUI (under the "Ringmaster" project.)

List of visualization tools for genome alignments

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 13:25:33 -0600

Genome browsers are useful not only for showing final results but also for improving analysis protocols, testing data quality, and generating result drafts. Its integration in analysis pipelines allows the optimization of parameters, which leads to better results. But sometime, we need publication ready figure of genomes. Following are the list of genome alignment visualization tools, which could be useful for analysis and interpretation of results:

Hawkeye: an interactive visual analytics tool for genome assemblies

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 11:56:17 -0600

Genome sequencing remains an inexact science, and genome sequences can contain significant errors if they are not carefully examined. Hawkeye is our new visual analytics tool for genome assemblies, designed to aid in identifying and correcting assembly errors. Users can analyze all levels of an assembly along with summary statistics and assembly metrics, and are guided by a ranking component towards likely mis-assemblies. Hawkeye is freely available and released as part of the open source AMOS project http://amos.sourceforge.net/hawkeye.
