[Biopython] two tracks on same level when using GenomeDiagram

[Adam Witney]

Hi Leighton,

No worries, thanks for your reply.

Essentially what I have are two different contigs for one draft genome that I want to align to a single contig for another draft genome.

Peter has also pasted this example:

are these likely being manually edited then?

thanks again for your help

Adam

Hi Adam,

I don’t think there’s a way to do it from the API - sorry about that.

As a hacky way to produce a similar diagram, I’d consider generating a single track from the two annotated sequences you want to align, with a spacer of appropriate size, and rendering the diagram. Then I’d mask off the spacer using Illustrator or similar package. It’s not exactly satisfactory, I know.

Apologies,

L.
