Motivation Although the Python programming language counts many Bioinformatics and Computational Biology libraries; none offers customizable sequence annotation visualizations with layout optimization. Results DNA Features Viewer is a sequence annotation plotting library which optimizes plot readability while letting users tailor other visual aspects (colors, labels, highlights etc.) to their particular use case. Availability and implementation Open-source code and documentation are available on Github under the MIT license (https://github.com/Edinburgh-Genome-Foundry/DnaFeaturesViewer). Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
