Summary:
The vast amount of publicly available genomic data requires analysis and visualization tools. Here, we present figeno, an application for generating publication-quality FIgures for GENOmics. Figeno particularly focuses on multi-region views across genomic breakpoints and on long reads with base modifications. In addition, we support epigenomic data including ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq or HiC, as well as whole genome sequencing data with copy numbers and structural variants.
Availability And Implementation:
Figeno is available as a python package with both a command line and graphical user interface. It can be installed via PyPI and the source code is available at https://github.com/CompEpigen/figeno.
