A list of interesting genome visualizers, genome browsers, or genome-browser-like implementations

See the new companion website here https://cmdcolin.github.io/awesome-genome-visualization/

Follow the BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/awesomegenomeviz.bsky.social or Mastodon account https://genomic.social/@awesomegenomevisualization

Note that the organization on the GitHub README here is a best effort categorization using the first tag applied to each tool, but tools can have multiple tags too. See the website to see all tags applied to tools

The general focus here is on tools that plot things in genomic or sequence coordinate space

Note: This list runs the gammut from bespoke and simple to more general-purpose and complex tools. Some are historical, or may be for more visual inspiration only

I also encourage you to make your own visualization, things like R, ggplot2, matplotlib, and (the elephant in the room: coding agents, but careful with these, they can hamper your learning if you become overly reliant on them) make this much easier! But also consider making your visualization code re-usable for the wider community! And feel free to send PRs for more tools!

Finally, at least 68% (372/543) tools in this list have written publications for their tools. They went through the effort to write it up, cite these tools!!

New rule: 2026-10-11 I will no longer be accepting tools without source available. I don't want feel inspired to share source-not-available vibe-coded tools in this repo. Rare exceptions may be made for commercial vendors that have unique functionality in line with pre-existing commercially tagged tools, or certain web based tools (e.g. my Silo tag), where sharing the code is not feasible.
