Genomic sequencing has boundless uses in the world of science, especially in the field of medicine. Geneticists have by now managed to map out the entire human genome, along with genomes and genes from a vast variety of other organisms. This genetic data is computed, analysed, and pored over by scientists to draw results, a lot of which is easier done by making visualisations out of it. Before talking about the actual visualisations and their kinds, the paper attempts briefly to explain what genomes and genetic data are and how one gets to visualising them.
