Utilities
Genome Visualization Tool
Interactive genome and edit visualization powered by ModernGL/OGN-render-ready pipelines.
Visualize guides, PAMs, donors, and implied distributions (assumption bound) with GPU-accelerated scenes inside Helix Studio, the Genome IDE.
System of Record →Section 1
What the tool is
The Visualization Tool renders genome context and edits in 2D and 3D, keeping spatial relationships obvious for scientists and engineers alike.
Section 2
Why scientists care
Static screenshots and generic genome browsers fail to convey edit geometry or multiplex interactions.
Section 3
How Helix solves it
Toggle between linear and 3D views with synchronized highlights
Section 4
How the algorithm works
Rendering uses ModernGL-style pipelines with OGN-ready kernels for heavy geometry and sequence overlays.
Section 5
Try it in Helix Studio
Load a design, open Visualization, and step through implied distributions (assumption bound) with live highlighting.
Section 6
FAQ
Does this replace my genome browser?
For design and analysis contexts, yes—Helix keeps visuals tied to interactive objects rather than static tracks.
How heavy is it on GPUs?
Renderers scale quality based on device; OGN kernels accelerate dense scenes when available.
Can I annotate visuals?
Add notes and bookmarks; snapshots preserve annotations for reports.
