DNA features viewer: A sequence annotation formatting and plotting library for Python

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Motivation: While the Python programming language counts many Bioinformatics and Computational Biology libraries, none offers customizable sequence annotation visualizations with layout optimization.

Results: DNA Features Viewer is a sequence annotation plotting library which optimizes plot readabilitywhile letting users tailor other visual aspects (colors, labels, highlights, etc.) to their particular use case.

Availability: Open-source code and documentation are available on Github under the MIT licence (https://github.com/Edinburgh-Genome-Foundry/DnaFeaturesViewer).
