Publication-quality rendering of genome comparisons

Peter Cock
Jennifer A. White

GenomeDiagram is a module written for the Python high-level programming language, providing a straightforward interface for programmatic generation of publication-quality vector, raster and streamed images. Images constructed by the package can represent very large amounts of biological information, and are designed with comparative genomics in mind, visualising elements ordered in relation to a reference sequence in either linear or circular representations.

GenomeDiagram is a module of the Biopython bioinformatics libraries for Python, and uses the ReportLab backend for rendering images.
