Visualizing Ribo-seq and other sequencing data within genes of interest is a powerful approach to studying gene expression, but its application is limited by a lack of robust tools. Here, we introduce , a user-friendly R package for visualizing individual gene expression, integrating Ribo-seq, RNA-seq, and other genome-wide data sets with flexible scaling options. visualizes 3 nt periodicity, a hallmark of translating ribosomes, within a gene-structure context, including introns and untranslated regions, enabling the study of novel open reading frames (ORFs), translation of different isoforms, and mechanisms of translational regulation. can plot multiple Ribo-seq/RNA-seq data sets from different conditions for comparison. It also contains functions for plotting single-transcript views, reading-frame decomposition, and RNA-seq coverage alone. Importantly, supports the visualization of other omics data sets that could also be presented with single-nucleotide resolution, such as RNA degradome, transcription start sites, translation initiation sites, and epitranscriptomic modifications. We demonstrate its utility with examples of upstream ORFs, downstream ORFs, nested ORFs, and differential isoform translation in humans, , tomatos, and rice. We also provide examples of multiomic comparisons that reveal insights that connect the transcriptome, translatome, and degradome. In summary, is an advanced single-gene viewer that offers a valuable resource for studying gene expression regulation through its intuitive and flexible platform.
在感兴趣的基因中可视化核糖体测序(Ribo-seq)和其他测序数据是研究基因表达的一种强大方法,但其应用受到缺乏强大工具的限制。在这里,我们介绍了 ,这是一个用户友好的R包,用于可视化单个基因的表达,将Ribo-seq、RNA测序(RNA-seq)和其他全基因组数据集整合在一起,并具有灵活的缩放选项。 在基因结构背景下(包括内含子和非翻译区)可视化3nt周期性,这是正在翻译的核糖体的一个标志,从而能够研究新的开放阅读框(ORF)、不同异构体的翻译以及翻译调控机制。 可以绘制来自不同条件的多个Ribo-seq/RNA-seq数据集进行比较。它还包含用于绘制单转录本视图、阅读框分解以及单独的RNA-seq覆盖度的功能。重要的是, 支持可视化其他组学数据集,这些数据集也可以以单核苷酸分辨率呈现,例如RNA降解组、转录起始位点、翻译起始位点和表观转录组修饰。我们通过人类、 、番茄和水稻中的上游ORF、下游ORF、嵌套ORF和差异异构体翻译的例子展示了它的实用性。我们还提供了多组学比较的例子,这些例子揭示了连接转录组、翻译组和降解组的见解。总之, 是一个先进的单基因查看器,通过其直观且灵活的平台为研究基因表达调控提供了宝贵的资源。
