Snipit is an analysis and visualization tool designed for summarizing single nucleotide polymorphisms in sequences in comparison to a reference sequence. This tool efficiently catalogues nucleotide and amino acid differences, enabling clear comparisons through customizable, publication-ready figures. With features such as configurable colour palettes, customizable record sorting, and the ability to output figures in multiple formats, snipit offers a user-friendly interface for researchers across diverse disciplines. In addition, snipit includes a specialized recombi-mode for illustrating recombination patterns, which can highlight otherwise often difficult-to-detect relationships between sequences.
Snipit is an open-source python-based tool that is hosted on GitHub under a GNU-GPL 3.0 licence (https://github.com/aineniamh/snipit). It can be installed from PyPi using pip. Source code and additional documentation can be found on the GitHub repository.
Snipit 是一个分析和可视化工具,用于比较参考序列对序列中单核苷酸多态性(SNP)进行总结。该工具可以有效地对核苷酸和氨基酸差异进行分类,通过可定制的、适合出版的图形进行清晰的比较。Snipit 具有可配置调色板、可定制记录排序以及以多种格式输出图形等功能,为不同学科的研究人员提供了一个用户友好的界面。此外,Snipit 还包含一个专门的 recombi 模式,用于说明重组模式,可以突出显示序列之间通常难以检测到的关系。
Snipit 是一个基于 Python 的开源工具,它在 GitHub 上以 GNU-GPL 3.0 许可证(https://github.com/aineniamh/snipit)托管。可以使用 pip 从 PyPi 安装。源代码和其他文档可以在 GitHub 存储库中找到。
