ggDNAvis: a ggplot2-based R package for creating high-quality DNA sequence and modification visualisations

ggDNAvis is a ggplot2-based R package that enables high-quality visualization of DNA sequences and methylation, including single sequences, multiple reads, and Nanopore-derived modification data.

• Why it matters: Sequencing pipelines are mature, but rendering DNA sequence and methylation information is often limited, leading authors to rely on varied manual visualization approaches.
• What they did: The package provides core functions for single-sequence plots, multi-sequence views (motivated by long-read Nanopore reads across STR expansion genes like NOTCH2NLC, HTT, and FMR1), and methylation plots from read-level modification data.
• The result: ggDNAvis is distributed as an R package on CRAN and as a Shiny web app, producing ggplot2-based outputs that support extension and annotation across the ggplot2 ecosystem.
