trackplot is a tool for visualizing various next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, including DNA-seq, RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq and full-length sequencing datasets.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports almost all NGS data format, including:
- BAM.
- Bed.
- Depth file generated by samtools depth.
- bigBed [pyBigWig optional].
- bigWig [pyBigWig optional].
- naive Hi-C format [hicmatrix optional].
- Support various file formats as input.
- Support strand-aware coverage plot.
- Visualize coverage by heatmap, including HiC diagram.
- Visualize protein domain based the given gene id.
- Demultiplex the single-cell RNA/ATAC-seq which used cell barcode into cell population.
- Support visualizing individual full-length reads in read-by-read style.
- Support visualize circRNA sequencing data.
