SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate publication-quality genome browser visualizations from multiple data tracks using pyGenomeTracks, IGV batch scripting, or Gviz.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports region-specific figures combining coverage (BigWig), peaks (BED), and gene models (GTF) with pyGenomeTracks.
  • Enables IGV batch scripting for automated region screenshots and publication-quality exports.
  • Provides multi-sample comparison workflows and batch figure generation for manuscripts.
  • Integrates with R/Bioconductor (Gviz) workflows for alternative plotting pipelines.

Quick Start

Generate a figure for chr1:1000000-2000000 using pyGenomeTracks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create publication-ready genome browser tracks from bigWig and BED files?

Genome browser visualizations combine coverage (bigWig), peaks (BED), and gene models (GTF) into region-specific plots using pyGenomeTracks, IGV batch scripting, or Gviz. The Skill outputs high-resolution PNG, SVG, or PDF figures for manuscripts.

Can I automate IGV batch scripting for multi-sample genome visualization comparisons?

Yes, IGV batch scripting automates region screenshots and publication-quality exports for multi-sample genome visualization comparisons. The Skill configures these workflows to generate batch figures across multiple genomic samples.

Does pyGenomeTracks require INI configuration to plot genomic regions?

Yes, pyGenomeTracks requires INI configuration files to define track layouts and plot specific genomic regions. You provide the track files and INI configuration, and the Skill automates the generation of high-resolution publication figures.

What is the best way to generate batch genome browser figures for a manuscript?

The best way to generate batch genome browser figures for a manuscript is using pyGenomeTracks or Gviz workflows. The Skill automates multi-sample comparisons and exports high-resolution SVG, PDF, or PNG files suitable for publication.

Can I use Gviz workflows in R for alternative genome browser plotting pipelines?

Yes, you can use R-based Gviz workflows for alternative genome browser plotting pipelines. The Skill integrates with R/Bioconductor to provide multi-sample comparison workflows and batch figure generation from genomic track files.
