Beschreibungen/Notizen

• New sequencing techniques require new visualization strategies, as is the case for epigenomics data such as DNA base modifications, small non-coding RNAs, and histone modifications. We present a set of plugins for the genome browser JBrowse that are targeted for epigenomics visualizations. Specifically, we have focused on visualizing DNA base modifications, small non-coding RNAs, stranded read coverage, and sequence motif density. Additionally, we present several plugins for improved user experience such as configurable, high-quality screenshots. In visualizing epigenomics with traditional genomics data, we see these plugins improving scientific communication and leading to discoveries within the field of epigenomics.
