This is a pure R implementation of locuszoom for plotting genetic data at genomic loci accompanied by gene annotations. Plots can be produced in base graphics, ggplot2 or plotly. Plots can be stacked or laid out with multiple plots per page, or the gene track can be plotted separately and added to your own plots.
The LDlink API can be queried to obtain linkage disequilibrium data from 1000 Genomes. Recombination rate can also be shown by querying UCSC genome browser.
See the detailed vignette for code examples.
Bioconductor package ensembldb and an Ensembl database installed either as a
package or accessed through Bioconductor package AnnotationHub are required
before installation.

locuszoomr can leverage the LDlinkR package to query the 1000 Genomes
Project for linkage disequilibrium (LD) across SNPs. In order to make use of
this API function you will need a personal access token, available from the
LDlink website.
We recommend that users who want to add recombination rate lines to multiple plots download the recombination rate track from UCSC and use it as described in the 'Add recombination rate' section in the vignette.
