trackDJ, an R package for epigenomic visualization, enables users to generate publication-quality, publication-ready genomic figures with minimal coding via a unified plotting framework and sensible defaults.
- Why it matters: Interactive genome browsers support exploration but are not optimized for fully programmatic, reproducible figure generation, while existing tools are often hard to configure without extensive setup.
- What they did: The package provides high-level plotting functions that stack and align multiple epigenomic data types—coverage tracks, peak annotations, chromatin loops, and gene annotations—and lets users choose regions by coordinates or gene name.
- The result: trackDJ offers a user-friendly, scripted alternative to interactive genome browsers, integrating into R workflows to streamline reproducible creation of clean, customizable epigenomic illustrations.
