clinker

Automatic generation of gene cluster comparison figures. Gene cluster comparison figure generator. A d3 chart for generating gene cluster comparison figures. clinker is a pipeline for easily generating publication-quality gene cluster comparison figures. Given a set of GenBank files, clinker will automatically extract protein translations, perform global alignments between sequences in each cluster, determine the optimal display order based on cluster similarity, and generate an interactive visualisation (using clustermap.js) that can be extensively tweaked before being exported as an SVG file. clustermap.js is an interactive, reusable d3 chart designed to visualise homology between multiple gene clusters.
