Compare horizontal genomes #197

Closed eweitz closed 4 years ago

eweitz commented 4 years ago

This enables comparing genomes with a horizontal orientation.

Laptop and desktop screens are usually more wide than tall, so this allows more chromosomes to fit in view. You can now compare genomes involving an organism with many chromosomes -- e.g. dog -- at higher detail without scrolling.

More technically, this enables comparing whole genomes where the layout has a collinear geometry (chromosomes are lined end-to-end) and horizontal orientation (laid flat).

Also, options for orientation and chromosome scale have been made adjustable in the Orthologs example UI -- making it easy to experiment with layout and configure views as desired.

Compare positions of BRCA1 and MTOR genes in horizontal genomes for human and dog:
