PatchWorkPlot

PatchWorkPlot visualizes pairwise alignments of multiple annotated sequences as dot plots combined into a single matrix, enabling exploration of positions, breakpoints, and architectures of structural variations across two or more sequences.

Key Features:

• Multi-sequence dot plot visualization: Automated visualization of pairwise alignments of multiple annotated sequences as dot plots combined into a single matrix.
• Structural variation exploration: Enables exploration of positions, breakpoints, and architectures of structural variations across two or more sequences.
• Customization of visualization parameters: Supports customization of visualization parameters for figure generation.
• Publication-ready output: Produces high-resolution, publication-ready figures.

Scientific Applications:

• Structural variation analysis: Reveals structural variations within and across populations for understanding diversification mechanisms and roles.
• Comparative genomics: Simplifies generation of complex plots for various cases, from individual loci to large-scale comparative projects.

Methodology:

PatchWorkPlot is implemented using Python 3.
