Animate splicing gene transcripts #320

Closed eweitz closed 1 year ago

eweitz commented 1 year ago

This splices transcripts smoothly, letting users track where exons, introns and UTRs end up, and their relative size change.

By having a brief, gradual change rather than an instant change, users can often visually follow how the location and proportional length of individual transcript subparts evolve between spliced and unspliced states. This extends previous work in #313 and #318.

This genomic animation technique might be adapted for future gene-scoped features.

Here's how it looks:
