GenomeVisualizer - A toolbox for detecting DNA replication origins and regulatory motifs in genomic sequences

A toolbox for detecting DNA replication origins and regulatory motifs in genomic sequences. The toolbox includes modules for skew analysis, origin prediction, motif search, and graphical genome representation.

Current Version: 0.0.2

Planned Release: June 2025

Introduction

GenomeVisualizer was developed to support students, researchers, and enthusiasts in exploring the structure of prokaryotic genomes.
It provides tools to identify biologically significant regions such as replication origins (ori) and sequence motifs associated with regulatory processes like circadian rhythms.

---

Description

The toolbox is divided into the following modules:

• Basic:

  • Simple pattern counting, frequency mapping, and file loading utilities.

• Replication:

  • Tools to locate replication origin using GC-skew, Hamming distance, and approximate pattern matching.

• Motifs:

  • Motif search algorithms including Greedy Motif Search, Randomized Motif Search and Gibbs Sampling.

• Visualization:

  • Genome-wide plots for skew array, symbol distribution, and motif locations using matplotlib.
