Genome browsers are an essential tool in genome analysis. Modern genome browsers enable complex and interactive visualization of a wide variety of genomic data modalities. While such browsers are very powerful, they can be challenging to configure and program for bioinformaticians lacking expertise in web development.
We have developed an R package that provides an interface to the JBrowse 2 genome browser. The package can be used to configure and customize the browser entirely with R code. The browser can be deployed from the R console, or embedded in Shiny applications or R Markdown documents.
JBrowseR is available for download from CRAN, and the source code is openly available from the Github repository at https://github.com/GMOD/JBrowseR/.
基因组浏览器是基因组分析的重要工具。现代基因组浏览器能够对各种基因组数据模式进行复杂而交互式的可视化。虽然这些浏览器非常强大，但对于缺乏网络开发专业知识的生物信息学家来说，它们可能难以配置和编程。
我们开发了一个 R 包，为 JBrowse 2 基因组浏览器提供了接口。该包可以完全使用 R 代码来配置和自定义浏览器。浏览器可以从 R 控制台中部署，也可以嵌入到 Shiny 应用程序或 R Markdown 文档中。
JBrowseR 可从 CRAN 下载，其源代码可从位于 https://github.com/GMOD/JBrowseR/ 的 Github 存储库中获得。
