Working with Sample Collections¶

The app package of the GenomeSpy toolkit enables an interactive analysis of large sample collections. It builds upon the core package, which allows developers to build tailored visualizations using the visualization grammar and high-performance WebGL renderer. A Canvas2D compatibility renderer is available when WebGL is unavailable. The app extends the grammar with a facet operator that makes it possible to repeat a single visualization for thousands of samples. The end users of the visualization have access to several interactions that facilitate the exploration of such sample collections.

The documentation of the app package is split into two parts serving different audiences:

1. Visualizing Sample Collections (for method developers)
2. Configuring Metadata Sources (for method developers)
3. Analyzing Sample Collections (for end users)
4. Importing Metadata (for end users)
