Software Showcase!
vsoch opened this issue · comments
Hey @eweitz! Sorry for two issues in one weekend, one day! This one is more fun :) I would like to share ideogram.js on the rseng software showcase this week https://rseng.github.io/rseng/blog/ and I'm wondering if there are any interesting stories, historical tidbits, or resources that you would like to add? The post serves as a general introduction to the software to get folks excited, and possibly find a tool they would find useful for their work.
The post is currently in draft mode, you can see here and the rendering of that is below!
I usually release on lat Sunday, but I was a bit late today because I was having fun with #239, so we can definitely aim for early this week instead! Also, I wanted to ask if there is an associated paper or DOI that users of your software can cite? if you haven't ever done it before (and there is no paper) I highly recommend using zenodo -> https://zenodo.org/. It has a GitHub integration so it can be automated so that releases update the DOI.
Hi @vsoch, thanks for featuring Ideogram :). The blog post looks good!
Small copyedit: the library name can be rendered as "Ideogram.js" or "Ideogram" -- always with capital "I".
Interesting tidbit: I began Ideogram.js in February 2015, and have developed it as a personal side project on nights and weekends almost daily since.
Resources:
- Ideogram.js: Chromosome visualization with JavaScript, October 2018
- Designing genome visualizations with Ideogram.js, April 2020
Regarding citations, I've historically recommended:
Weitz, Eric M. Ideogram.js. 2015. https://github.com/eweitz/ideogram.
There's also a more traditional publication for a related work:
Weitz, Eric M.; Pantano, Lorena; Zhu, Jingzhi; Upton, Bennett; Busby, Ben. Viewing RNA-seq data on the entire human genome. F1000Research 2017, 6:596
The latter work has a DOI (see link), but I'll look into integrating Zenodo for DOIs for this repository itself.
Thank you, I've made the fixes! rseng/rseng@4c950a5. +1 for integrating zenodo, it's really useful. I think we are good for this particular issue, so I'm going to close. Thanks again!
