News
- The HIDIVE Lab is looking for remote interview participants who create and use genome-mapped data visualizations (such as Gosling, IGV or Circos). Join a 1-hour online interview and receive a $25 Amazon gift card. Interested? Sign up via this form. More info is shared on the HIDIVE Lab website.
- We release documentations for Gosling v0.10.0, which adds support for GFF files, a Javscript API to get the ID of views, and a placeholder track for non-Gosling visualizations.
- We release documentations for Gosling v0.9.30, which supports React v18 and BED file datafetcher!
- We release documentations for Gosling v0.9.20, which supports mouse event APIs,responsive design, and more expressive styles!
- Our tutorial on Gosling has been accepted for ISMB 2022 🎉
- Gosling won the Best Abstract Award at BioVis ISMB 2021 🏆
- Our first paper about Gosling.js has been presented at VIS 2021 and will be published to IEEE TVCG.
Scalability
Gosling scales from whole genomes to single nucleotides via semantic zooming that updates visual encodings dynamically and by using the rendering and data access capabilities of our HiGlass genomics visualization framework.
Expressiveness
Gosling is designed to be expressive enough to generate pretty much any visualization of genome-mapped data, which we accomplished by basing the grammar on our taxonomy of (epi)genomics data visualizations.
Interactivity
Gosling has intuitive and effective user interactions built in, including zooming and panning and brushing and linking. This enables flexible visualizations that cover a wide range of visual analysis scenarios, like overview + detail views with brushes or comparative views.
