Genome Track Visualization

pyGenomeTracks (Python/CLI)

bash
# Create tracks configuration file
cat > tracks.ini << 'EOF'
[bigwig]
file = coverage.bw

[spacer]
height = 0.5

[peaks]
file = peaks.bed
title = Peaks
color = #E64B35
height = 2
labels = false

[spacer]
height = 0.5

[genes]
file = genes.gtf
title = Genes

# Generate plot
pyGenomeTracks --tracks tracks.ini --region chr1:1000000-2000000 \

pyGenomeTracks Programmatic

python
import pygenometracks.tracks as pygtk

tracks = pygtk.PlotTracks('tracks.ini', fig_width=40, dpi=150)
tracks.plot('output.png', 'chr1', 1000000, 2000000)

Gviz (R)

# Gene model
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene)
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene

                            name = 'Genes', transcriptAnnotation = 'symbol')

# Data track from BigWig

           from = 1000000, to = 2000000, sizes = c(1, 1, 3, 1, 3))

Gviz with Multiple Samples

r
# Create overlay data track
dtrack1 <- DataTrack(range = 'sample1.bw', name = 'Sample1', col = '#4DBBD5')
dtrack2 <- DataTrack(range = 'sample2.bw', name = 'Sample2', col = '#E64B35')

overlay <- OverlayTrack(trackList = list(dtrack1, dtrack2))

plotTracks(list(gtrack, overlay, grtrack), from = 1000000, to = 2000000,
           type = 'histogram', legend = TRUE)

Gviz Customization

r
# Highlight regions
ht <- HighlightTrack(trackList = list(dtrack, atrack),
                      start = c(1200000, 1500000),
                      end = c(1300000, 1600000),
                      chromosome = 'chr1')

# Custom display parameters
displayPars(dtrack) <- list(
    background.title = '#3C5488',
    fontcolor.title = 'white',
    col.axis = 'black',
    ylim = c(0, 100)
)

plotTracks(list(gtrack, ht, grtrack), from = 1000000, to = 2000000)
