How to deal with larger length for the genes

[Nitin123-4]

if we have genes from different regions from the gene, which can range between 20-30 OR 200-300 MB in the chr. In this case the arrow is coming as line only.

input example is:

molecule gene start end strand orientation
chr1 gene1 520345 525138 forward 0
chr1 gene2 905691 906008 reverse 1
chr1 gene3 1046272 1056485 reverse 1
chr1 gene4 1564710 1567770 reverse 1
chr1 gene5 3848040 3848498 forward 0

please help to plot this more clearly.

Hi @Nitin123-4, there are a few ways of dealing with the problem of drawing distant genes (see this issue):

• You could generate separate plots for each region of interest and compose them with the patchwork package
• You could use the ggbreak package to insert axis breaks
• I wrote a package called ggwrap which takes a wide plot and wraps it over multiple rows, specifically for plotting long sequences with gggenes
