GIVE (Genomic Interactive Visualization Engine) is a HTML5 library that lets you embed genomic visualization panels as you would standard HTML elements to build a customized genome browser to visualize data from public deposits (such as ENCODE) and/or in-house data.
It consists of three major parts: GIVE Web Components, the client-side codes running in browsers, implemented by HTML5, GIVE server, including bare server codes, implemented by PHP, and GIVE Data Source.
GIVE uses Web Components, specifically Polymer Library for user interface and Scaled Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 for graphics. These components are supported by all major browsers.
This is free and open source software.
