Highlight Centromeric and telomeric region with different colors

[PraveenOraon]

Hi,
I would like to thank you for developing such a user-friendly tool with minimal commands. It has greatly simplified the process of creating synteny plots and analyzing genomic alignments.

I am currently using the tool for visualizing synteny relationships, and I have a specific feature request that I believe would enhance the functionality of the package. I would like to highlight regions of interest, such as centromeres and telomeres, within the synteny plots using different colors. This would make it much easier to visually distinguish these important genomic features during the analysis.

Could you please suggest whether this is currently possible within the existing framework of the tool and how to achieve that??

My code that i used to create the synteny plot between two genome draw.linear("output", "Size_Length.txt", "alignment.txt", w = 20, h = 4, fileformat = "png")

Regards
Praveen

Dear Praveen

It's not currently possible. But we will keep it in mind now that we are working on the next version of the tools.

Hi,
We have a new repositiory where we are making changes which we will eventually upload to CRAN.
We have added an option to add a point for the centromere on the chromosome drawings.
