Visualise exons and their reading frames

Exonviz

ExonViz is a simple tool to draw transcripts that include coding and non-coding regions. All exons are to scale and the reading frames of the exons are visible. Single or multiple variants along the transcript can be drawn and will automatically be shown in the correct location.

Online version

You can try out ExonViz online at exonviz.rnatherapy.nl.

Installation

ExonViz only requires Python, and can be installed using PIP:

pip install exonviz

# If you want to run the exonviz website locally, use
pip install exonviz[website]

Usage

Simply supply either a transcript (with version!), or a valid HGVS description to exonviz to generate a figure:

exonviz --transcript "NM_003002.4:r.[274G>T;300del]" > SHDH.svg
