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.
