HomDNA: Open-Source DNA Browser & Annotation Tool

An open-source DNA browser and annotation tool for visualizing genomic datasets, enabling fast navigation and plotting of genome-wide data sets from high-throughput sequencing experiments.

What is HomDNA?

HomDNA is an open-source DNA browser and annotation tool developed by researchers at Stanford University. It is designed for visualizing and exploring genomic datasets from high-throughput sequencing experiments such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and DNase-seq.

Key features of HomDNA include:

• Fast navigation and plotting of genome-wide data sets up to whole-genome scale
• Support for common genome file formats like BED, BigWig, BigBed, GFF/GTF, VCF
• Customizable genome tracks with control over data normalization and processing
• Integration of public genome annotation data from sources like Ensembl and UCSC
• Interactive scatter, density and histogram plots for data visualization
• Capability to handle data from multiple experiments and conditions
• Export publication-ready images
• Open-source codebase built on JavaScript and other web technologies

By combining a powerful data visualization frontend with a high-performance computational backend, HomDNA enables researchers to explore big genomic data sets interactively. Its focus is to accelerate biological insight and discovery from high-throughput sequencing experiments.
