I am excited to announce the release of **[DashBio.jl](https://github.com/plotly/DashBio.jl)**, a suite of bioinformatics components that make it simpler to analyze and visualize bioinformatics data and interact with them in a Dash application by Plotly. Now all biologists using Julia can visualize their data interactively in a web-based dashboard.The extensive documentation has a lot of examples and you can try them out by installing **[DashBio.jl](https://github.com/plotly/DashBio.jl)**. Features include visualization tools for:

- Alignment Chart
- Forna Container
- Ideogram
- Igv
- Molecule 2d Viewer
- Molecule 3d Viewer
- Needle Plot  
and many more  
The complete documentation with examples can be found on [https://dash-julia.plotly.com/dash-bio](https://dash-julia.plotly.com/dash-bio)

Where is the Julia API? The docs seem to contain Python code?

EDIT:

Oh I think this is the expected interface: [Dash Bio | Dash for Julia Documentation | Plotly](https://dash-julia.plotly.com/dash-bio)

Thanks for the heads up! 🙂  
I appreciate your help.

This looks great! Maybe I could use some of this, directly or for inspiration.
