Custom Organisms

To add a custom organism, you need to provide a two files:

• A cytoband file in the UCSC format

• A text file specifying the main canonical chromosomes (one per line)

Once these files are prepared, you can specify them during the interactive setup process.

Examples can be found in pangyplot/static/cytoband. Use pangyplot setup to specify the cytoband files.
