tracktables

tracktables generates IGV-compatible genome browser sessions and dynamic HTML reports to integrate and visualize diverse genomic and high-throughput datasets using Bioconductor packages and R.

Key Features:

• Complex IGV sessions: Constructs IGV sessions capable of visualizing and combining multiple genomic datasets within a single browser session.
• Dynamic HTML reports: Produces dynamic HTML reports that embed genome browser sessions and analyses for dissemination and review.
• Bioconductor interoperability: Integrates with the Bioconductor package ecosystem to access established genomic data structures and analysis tools.
• R-based statistical framework: Leverages the R statistical programming environment for analysis and reproducible computation.
• Data integration: Facilitates the integration of diverse high-throughput data types into cohesive visualizations and reports.

Scientific Applications:

• Genome visualization and reporting: Visualizes genomic regions and generates reportable outputs for interpretation and communication of results.
• Integration of high-throughput datasets: Combines multiple sequencing-derived datasets into unified browser sessions for comparative inspection.
• Comparative genomics and variant analysis: Supports workflows in comparative genomics, gene expression analysis, and variant calling by co-displaying relevant data tracks.

Methodology:

Creates IGV sessions and dynamic HTML reports while using Bioconductor packages for data integration and visualization and leveraging R for statistical analysis.
