The Walk of Genes visualizes gene sequences as an animated circular gene map. Each gene (HBA1 and COL1A1) is represented by a spiral or ring of small colored segments, with each segment corresponding to a DNA base pair. The animation sequentially reveals the genes' nucleotide sequences, with colors encoding the four DNA bases (A, T, C, G). Rendered in SVG, the visualization uses smooth transitions to trace the genetic "walk," allowing viewers to observe sequence composition and length at a glance. The piece emphasizes the rhythm and scale of genomic data through motion and color.

genemapping animated

This example maps four genes from a small JSON dataset onto an animated SVG visualization. Each gene is represented by a colored rectangle whose width corresponds to its start and stop coordinates, with orientation indicated by color (purple for forward, teal for reverse) and vertical placement. The animation uses `d3.transition` to slide each gene from off-screen into its mapped position along the x-axis, with labels appearing at the midpoint of each gene. The code leverages D3 v4’s selection, data join, and attribute tweening to choreograph the entry, while gene names and positioning are derived directly from the data fields.

The genome browser

This visualization presents a genome browser that displays gene sequences along a linear genome track, with forward and reverse genes color-coded in green and red. It shows how genes are positioned and oriented within a genome, with tick marks marking 100, 500, and 1000 base-pair intervals. The view animates gene rectangles from an initial off-track position into their correct places along the track, while labels for gene names and phage numbers fade in sequentially. The code uses D3.js (version 3.5.5) to bind JSON data, manipulate SVG elements, and apply transitions.

simple genome map

This example presents a simple genome map, visualizing four genes as horizontal bars positioned along a linear sequence. Each gene is rendered as a colored rectangle, with green indicating forward orientation and red indicating reverse orientation, and is labeled with its name. The code loads data from a JSON file using `d3.json` and creates SVG groups for each gene. Using `transition()`, the bars animate from a starting offset to their final positions, with delays tied to each gene's start coordinate, illustrating the relative locations of genetic features.

Gene structure display

This visualization displays a linear genome map as a series of tiers, with colored segments representing genes along a specified range. Segments are automatically arranged into rows to avoid collisions, and hovering reveals a tooltip with details. The code uses D3 v3 with SVG rendering, custom collision detection, and underscore.js for data grouping, with data sourced from KEGG and a custom `d3.svg.geneStructure` function.

genome browser

This visualization presents a linear genome browser for a synthetic DNA sequence, displaying four annotated genes along a horizontal genomic axis. It shows the relative positions, lengths, and orientations (forward in green, reverse in red) of each gene, with staggered vertical offsets for readability. The visualization animates the appearance of gene blocks and labels using D3 transitions, and it renders tick marks at 1000, 500, and 100 base-pair intervals to indicate scale. The code uses D3’s selection and transition methods (e.g., `.transition().delay().duration()`) to sequentially reveal the genome, starting with the ruler, then the gene rectangles, and finally the text labels. Gene data comes from a JSON file, and the scale is fixed at one pixel per ten base pairs, with the SVG width set to one-tenth of the genome length.

genome browser

This genome browser visualizes gene positions along a linear genome sequence, with genes drawn as colored rectangles that animate downward into place above and below a central axis based on their forward or reverse direction. The SVG rendering uses D3.js to bind gene data from a JSON file, while tick marks at 100, 500, and 1,000 base-pair intervals are animated with staggered transitions. The code relies on `d3.json` for data loading, `transition().duration()` for sequential animations, and `attr("transform")` to position tick groups. The genome length is fixed at 7,800 base pairs, with gene labels fading in after the rectangles settle.

genome browser

This interactive genome browser visualizes gene positions along a linear genome of 7,800 base pairs. The visualization renders a main genomic backbone as a horizontal black-bordered rectangle, with five genes displayed as colored blocks—pink for forward-strand genes and teal for reverse-strand genes. Genes are offset vertically in alternating rows based on their name parity and direction, creating a clear strand-separated layout. Each gene is labeled with its number in white sans-serif text. The animation begins with genes growing from zero height to their full 30-pixel height, while tick marks for thousands, five-hundreds, and hundreds appear with staggered transitions. Data is loaded from an external JSON file (genes.json.txt) using d3.json, and the visualization is rendered as an SVG using D3.js. Tick marks are generated by iterating over genome positions, and gene rectangles transition into place with a delay, producing a dynamic, animated genome browser view.

The genome browser

This genome browser visualizes annotated genes along a linear genome map. Each gene is represented as a colored block—green for forward direction and red for reverse—with blocks offset into two staggered rows on each strand to reduce overlap. Gene names and pham identifiers appear as text labels. The visualization uses D3.js to animate gene blocks sliding from the right edge into their correct positions along the sequence, with labels fading in afterward. Hovering over a gene reveals a tooltip with its name. Tick marks at 100, 500, and 1000 base-pair intervals provide a genomic scale, and the layout separates forward and reverse strands vertically, with gene sizes proportional to their sequence lengths.
