JBrowse 2: a modular genome browser with views of synteny and structural variation

🤖 Plain-English Summary

We present JBrowse 2, a general-purpose genome annotation browser offering enhanced visualization of complex structural variation and evolutionary relationships. These improvements are enabled by a ground-up redesign using modern web technology.

🔑 Key Findings

• It retains core features of JBrowse while adding new views for synteny, dotplots, breakpoints, gene fusions, and whole-genome overviews.
• It allows users to share sessions, open multiple genomes, and navigate between views.
• It can be embedded in a web page, used as a standalone application, or run from Jupyter notebooks or R sessions.
