Abstract

SUMMARY: We present igv-reports, a command-line tool to create standalone HTML pages embedding interactive genomic visualizations of read alignments and associated annotations to support variant inspection workflows. The reports contain all data and code required for visualization of the variant sites, with no dependencies on the input data files. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: igv-reports is a command-line application written in Python. It is freely available at https://github.com/igvteam/igv-reports under an MIT license.
