shinyChromosome

shinyChromosome generates non-circular whole-genome plots to visualize genomic features aligned along all chromosomes.

Key Features:

• Non-circular whole-genome plotting: Generates non-circular plots representing entire genomes aligned along all chromosomes.
• Chromosome-aligned visualization: Maps genomic data and features directly to chromosome coordinates for whole-genome representation.
• Plot annotation and high-quality output: Supports annotation of genomic features and produces publication-quality visual outputs.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative genomics: Visualizes genome-wide feature distributions to compare genomic organization between species or assemblies.
• Genome assembly validation: Displays chromosome-scale feature placements to aid evaluation of assembly completeness and structural accuracy.
• Education: Provides whole-genome diagrams to illustrate chromosome organization and genomic data distribution.

Methodology:

Implemented in R using the Shiny framework to interact with genomic data, annotate plots, and generate high-quality visual outputs.
