With its latest release (v0.4.8), LocusZoom.js now has built-in support for display of annotation/BED tracks. You can also see and work with annotation track data now on the Interactive Plot page.

Some members of the LocusZoom team will be at the American Society of Human Genetics conference in Vancouver, Canada from October 18-22. This will include the presentation of a poster describing the new interactive LocusZoom.js:
The poster will be located at 1829T in the Bioinformatics and Computational Approaches section. See and download the full resolution PDF of the poster here.
If you find yourself at ASHG this October please stop by! The poster session will be from 2PM-3PM on Thursday, October 20.

Recently the UM/CSG team began work on LocusZoom.js, a way of making LocusZoom embeddable and interactive.
Starting from scratch we developed a LocusZoom semi-clone entirely in Javascript with forward thinking into how it could be more extensible. Below is a flat image showing what a plot generated in LocusZoom.js can look like today:
Being built for the web, interaction with the new LocusZoom.js is fundamentally different from how you would interact with Original LocusZoom (built in Python and R for command-line operation). To see for yourself begin by interactively plotting published GWAS results. Add arbitrarily many studies and navigate around the genome with your mouse. LocusZoom.js has not yet been hooked up to a form to upload your data here on this website, but it is open source and heavily documented so you can build your own applications with it. See the documentation and get the source code to get started!
The original LocusZoom (Python/R) for generating single/batch plots of your data or single plots of published GWAS datais still available here and will continue to be.
Please tell us what you think! Post your questions and feedback on the LocusZoom Message Board.
