something similar to FancyGene

Question

[lay_0]

Hi, I used FancyGene in the past to graphically display genes and features that are close together in a sequence, and compare that genomic region between species on a scale. Well, FancyGene seems to be not working anymore, I think the person in charge has moved to a different University and the website is not maintained anymore. I can't find anything as simple and nice as FancyGene, can anyone help me?

Did you try to ask the lead author? She might give you more clues or similar tools https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/a-z-researchers/researchers-a-c/francesca-ciccarelli/

I did contact her, no answer yet. Thanks!

Some tools and libraries might be found in this old thread What Tools/Libraries Do You Use To Visualize Genomic Feature Data? But this threads needs an update as well.

Looks like they just need to empty the tmp directory. Error in tempfile() using /data/httpd/fancygene/docs/tmp/preview/previewXXXXXX.png: Could not create temp file /data/httpd/fancygene/docs/tmp/preview/preview_dWdmc.png: No space left on device at /data/httpd/fancygene/cgi-bin/fancygene.pl line 347

Thanks, indeed it seems like is just maintenance problem. I did contacted the author before posting here but didn't get any answer.
