Introduction

Intuitively and effectively visualizing genetic mutation data can help researchers to better understand genomic data and validate findings. G3viz is an R package which provides an easy-to-use lollipop-diagram tool. It enables users to interactively visualize detailed translational effect of genetic mutations in RStudio or a web browser, without having to know any HTML5/JavaScript technologies.

The features of g3viz include

• Interactive (zoom & pan, tooltip, brush selection tool, and interactive legend)
• Highlight and label positional mutations
• 8 ready-to-use chart themes
• Highly customizable with over 50 chart options and over 35 color schemes
• Save charts in PNG or high-quality SVG format
• Built-in function to retrieve protein domain information and resolve gene isoforms
• Built-in function to map genetic mutation type (a.k.a, variant classification) to mutation class

Install g3viz

Install from R repository

install package

install.packages("g3viz", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

or install development version from github

Check if "devtools" installed

if("devtools" %in% rownames(installed.packages()) == FALSE){ install.packages("devtools") }

install from github

devtools::install_github("g3viz/g3viz")
