If I can suggest a couple of libraries that should be used for this project
I will say:

- BioGraphics for sequence/genomic features display
http://bio-graphics.rubyforge.org/
- Rubyvis for everything else (a great library and fits perfectly well for
web visulisation since it's producing SVG images)
http://rubyvis.rubyforge.org/


Cheers
