Hi all,
I stumbled across this discussion - I'm looking to do exactly the same
thing, and wanted to put in a vote that this would be very useful
functionality. When looking at a single gene of interest (or a
handful), it's so much more intuitive to us biologists to present it
5'-to-3'.
I've often made figures using UCSC's genome browser - if you're
looking at any region in their browser, the "reverse" button right
below the display what we're looking for. Plots are still shown
relative to genomic coordinates, it's just that the end coord is
plotted on the left, and the start on the right.
I could imagine some kind of "reverse=TRUE" option in plotTracks,
without needing to mess with the underlying GRanges (or whatever data
the track is based on). Not sure how hard that would be to code,
though....
thanks,
Janet
