dotPlotly

Create an interactive dot plot from mummer output OR PAF format

R script that makes a plotly interactive and/or static (png/pdf) dot plot.

Shiny app available for testing

Example (more here)

For mummer (nucmer -> show-coords) output:

show-coords -c example.delta > example.coords
./mummerCoordsDotPlotly.R -i example.coords -o out -s -t -m 500 -q 500000 -k 7 -l

For PAF format (e.g. minimap2):

./pafCoordsDotPlotly.R -i example.paf -o out -s -t -m 500 -q 500000 -k 7 -l

Updates (10/29/17)

• Added script for PAF format
• Fixes for Mummer format script: add -t param, add handling of one ref chrom

Dependencies

The script requires three R packages: install.packages(c("optparse", "ggplot2", "plotly")).
