Ideogram.js is a JavaScript library for chromosome visualization. Ideogram supports drawing and animating genome-wide datasets using HTML, SVG, and CSS. With Ideogram you can show annotations in chromosomal context by simply including small snippets of code in a web page.

Uses cases for Ideogram:

• Human chromosomes
• Mouse chromosomes
• Homology (even between species)
• Annotations
• Filters on large genomic datasets
• More

Although it is primarily a client-side library, Ideogram can also render chromosomes in large batches via a command-line interface. The Ideogram CLI is fast. It can produce ~21,800 images -- one for each human gene -- in about 10 minutes.

Ideogram is free and open source software developed by Eric Weitz.
