Cool

Great! I'm always on the lookout for this type of software (a day will come when I need to generate my own publication quality version of our very own lab genome - maybe later this year).
Of course, it's my duty to direct you to the Perl version ;-)


Yup, GenomeDiagram rocks... p

Yup, GenomeDiagram rocks... personally I use it embedded in some of my own python scripts in order to use additional ReportLab features and combine the native graphing to some customized stuff (I work on plasmids so the graphical presentation has to be a bit different from complete genomes, due to scale differences).
I haven't tried the Perl version yet, but here's my humble opinion: I love Perl for sequence analysis, manipulating lots of files, blasting and so on, but you have to hand it to python, it's much simpler and better adapted to doing calculations, maths, geometry, graphics and so on.
The combination of the two is just ace:)
