LocusZoom: regional visualization of genome-wide association scan results.

Text

The bottom panel of a LocusZoom plot shows the name and location of genes in the UCSC Genome Browser (Kent et al., 2002). Positions of exons are displayed, and the transcribed strand is indicated with an arrow. This allows the visual comparison of association results relative to coding regions. Gene names are automatically spaced relative to one another to avoid overlap.
