Make a micro-synteny graph visualization #395

Open alancleary opened 3 years ago

alancleary commented 3 years ago

The micro-synteny viewer is great at visualizing the similarities and differences between gene family tracks. However, when there are many results tracks, it's hard to visually compare tracks that aren't close enough to be in view at the same time.

The goal here is to address this issue by creating a new visualization for micro-synteny tracks. Specifically, it will be a graph where nodes represent oriented gene families. The query track(s) will be used as the linear "backbone". Result tracks will be drawn on the backbone by adding "bubbles" to depict where they differ from the backbone (insertion, deletion, mismatch, inversion, CNV).

A graph of what? Genes -- gene families?

Whoops. Apparently I was distracted when I created this issue; it's not even in the right reop! I'll move it to the GCV repo and update the OP description.
