The visualization of biological data is a fundamental technique that enables researchers to understand and explain biology. Some of these visualizations have become iconic, for instance: tree views for taxonomy, cartoon rendering of 3D protein structures or tracks to represent features in a gene or protein, for instance in a genome browser. Nightingale provides visualizations in the context of proteins and protein features.
Nightingale is a library of re-usable data visualization web components that are currently used by UniProt and InterPro, among other projects. The components can be used to display protein sequence features, variants, interaction data, 3D structure, etc. These components are flexible, allowing users to easily view multiple data sources within the same context, as well as compose these components to create a customized view.
Nightingale examples and documentation are freely available at https://ebi-webcomponents.github.io/nightingale/. It is distributed under the MIT license, and its source code can be found at https://github.com/ebi-webcomponents/nightingale.
生物数据可视化是一项基础技术，能让研究人员理解和阐释生物学。其中一些可视化已颇具代表性，例如：用于分类学的树形视图、3D蛋白质结构的卡通渲染图，或用于表示基因或蛋白质特征的轨迹，比如在基因组浏览器中。Nightingale提供蛋白质及蛋白质特征方面的可视化。
Nightingale是一个可重复使用的数据可视化网络组件库，目前被UniProt和InterPro等项目使用。这些组件可用于展示蛋白质序列特征、变体、相互作用数据、3D结构等。这些组件很灵活，允许用户在同一背景下轻松查看多个数据源，还能组合这些组件以创建定制视图。
