Visualize Transcript Structures in Elegant Way

To visualize the gene structure with multiple isoforms better, I developed this package to draw different transcript structures easily.

transPlotR

There are some packages to plot gene structures, for example ggbio, ggtranscript... But there are still some limitations for them. The IGV software provides a good visualization for gene multiple isoforms. If you want to plot protein-coding or non-coding genes, it seems a little bit difficult for you to draw with a lot of codes. Here I developed a small R package named transPlotR which make gene structure visualization much easier. You can provide a little parameters to trancriptVis to make a plot with your own GTF files.

Installation

You can install the development version of transPlotR like so:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("junjunlab/transPlotR")

Example

This is a basic example:

library(transPlotR)
## basic example code

data(gtf)

# non-coding gene
trancriptVis(gtfFile = gtf,
             gene = 'Xist')
