lwgv

lwgv visualizes sequence annotations and dynamic analysis results in their chromosomal context using standard flat-file formats.

Key Features:

• Flat-file and transient file support: Uses standard flat-file formats and transient/temporary files to represent annotations and dynamic results without relying on a database.
• Dynamic visualization: Displays novel or analysis-derived data alongside established annotations by writing dynamic results to temporary files for import and rendering.
• Multi-scale visualization: Handles visualization from short sequences and single-gene RNA interference (RNAi) design up to medium-sized and whole-genome contexts.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic annotation visualization: Visualizes sequence annotations within chromosomal contexts to support annotation review and comparison.
• RNAi design visualization: Supports visualization and design workflows for RNA interference (RNAi) experiments at single-gene resolution.
• Whole-genome and targeted analyses: Enables visualization for both whole-genome browsers and focused analyses on short sequences or medium-sized genomes.

Methodology:

Parses standard flat-file formats and renders sequence annotations in chromosomal context by writing dynamic analysis results to transient/temporary files rather than relying on complex database infrastructures.
