## What it is
A curated awesome-list of genome browsers and genome visualization tools, with a companion website categorizing 500+ tools by tags. It serves as a discovery reference for bioinformatics visualization software.

## Use cases
- find a genome browser for my data
- discover genome visualization tools
- compare genomic visualization software
- find tools to plot genomic coordinate data
- browse a catalog of genome browser implementations

## When to choose
- you need to survey the landscape of genome browsers and visualization tools
- you want a categorized, maintained reference of genomic visualization software

## When to avoid
- you need an actual genome browser to install and use rather than a list of links
- you need visualization tools outside genomics

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, documentation
- domain: bioinformatics, data-visualization
- platform: -
- tags: awesome-list, genome-browsers, genomics, bioinformatics, curated-list, web
