GenomeSpy

GenomeSpy is a visualization toolkit for genomic (and other) data. It features a visualization grammar inspired by Vega-Lite and a high-performance, WebGL-powered graphics renderer.
Documentation and examples can be found at https://genomespy.app/
Monorepo
GenomeSpy is split into several packages, two of which, core and app, are the most important:
Core
The core library provides the visualization grammar and a WebGL-powered rendering engine.
Cohort App
The app builds upon the core, extending the visualization grammar with support for faceting multiple (up to thousands of) patient samples. It provides a user interface for interactive analysis of the samples, which can be filtered, sorted, and grouped flexibly. The app includes session handling with provenance, URL hashes, and bookmarks.
Embed Examples
The embed-examples package contains examples of how to embed GenomeSpy in web applications and use the API for advanced use cases.
Contributing
Bootstrapping and running
git clone git@github.com:genome-spy/genome-spy.gitcd genome-spynpm install(use npm7!)npm start(starts a development server with the app package)
The packages/core/examples directory contains some random view specification
that can be accessed through urls like
http://localhost:8080/?spec=examples/first.json.
The packages/core/private/ directory is in .gitignore and served by the
development server: http://localhost:8080/?spec=private/foo.json. Use it for
experiments that should not go into version control.
If you want to use or develop the core library, launch a single-page app using:
npm -w @genome-spy/core run dev

Please see the CONTRIBUTING.md file for more information.
