> [!NOTE]
> A major version upgrade, pyGenomeViz **v1.0.0**, was released on 2024/05.
> Backward incompatible changes have been made between v1.0.0 and v0.X.X to make for a more sophisticated API/CLI design.
> Therefore, v0.X.X users should pin the version to v0.4.4 or update existing code for v1.0.0.

## Overview

pyGenomeViz is a genome visualization python package for comparative genomics implemented based on matplotlib.
This package is developed for the purpose of easily and beautifully plotting genomic
features and sequence similarity comparison links between multiple genomes.
It supports genome visualization of Genbank/GFF format file and can be saved figure in various formats (JPG/PNG/SVG/PDF/HTML).
User can use pyGenomeViz for interactive genome visualization figure plotting on jupyter notebook,
or automatic genome visualization figure plotting in genome analysis scripts/workflow.

For more information, please see full documentation [here](https://moshi4.github.io/pyGenomeViz/).

## CLI Examples

pyGenomeViz provides CLI workflows for genome alignment result visualization of
Genbank genomes using `BLAST` / `MUMmer` / `MMseqs` / `progressiveMauve`, respectively.

### BLAST CLI Workflow

See [pgv-blast document](https://moshi4.github.io/pyGenomeViz/cli-docs/pgv-blast/) for details.

```shell
# Download example dataset
pgv-download yersinia_phage
# Run BLAST CLI workflow
pgv-blast NC_070914.gbk NC_070915.gbk NC_070916.gbk NC_070918.gbk \
          -o pgv-blast_example --seqtype protein --show_scale_bar --curve \
          --feature_linewidth 0.3 --length_thr 100 --identity_thr 30

## GUI (Web Application)

pyGenomeViz implements GUI (Web Application) functionality using [streamlit](https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit) as an option.
Users can easily visualize the genomic features in Genbank files and their comparison results with GUI ([Demo Page](https://pygenomeviz.streamlit.app)).
See [pgv-gui document](https://moshi4.github.io/pyGenomeViz/gui-docs/pgv-gui/) for details.

![pygenomeviz_gui.gif](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moshi4/pyGenomeViz/main/src/pygenomeviz/gui/assets/pgv_demo.gif)

## HTML Viewer

pyGenomeViz implements HTML viewer output functionality for interactive data visualization.
In API, HTML file can be output using `savefig_html` method. In CLI, user can select HTML file output option.
As shown below, pan/zoom, tooltip display, object color change, text change, etc are available in HTML viewer
([Demo Page1](https://moshi4.github.io/pyGenomeViz/images/pgv-viewer_demo1.html), [Demo Page2](https://moshi4.github.io/pyGenomeViz/images/pgv-viewer_demo2.html)).

![pgv-viewer-demo.gif](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moshi4/pyGenomeViz/main/docs/images/pgv-viewer-demo.gif)

Following libraries were used to implement HTML viewer.  

- [Spectrum](https://github.com/bgrins/spectrum): Colorpicker  
- [Panzoom](https://github.com/timmywil/panzoom): SVG panning and zooming  
- [Tabulator](https://github.com/olifolkerd/tabulator): Interactive Table
- [Micromodal](https://github.com/Ghosh/micromodal): Modal dialog
- [Tippy.js](https://github.com/atomiks/tippyjs): Tooltip

## Inspiration

pyGenomeViz was inspired by

- [GenomeDiagram (BioPython)](https://github.com/biopython/biopython)
- [Easyfig](http://mjsull.github.io/Easyfig/)
- [genoplotR](https://genoplotr.r-forge.r-project.org/)
