glue genes is a custom version of the glue software for the visual exploration of genomics data, developed in partnership with The Jackson Laboratory.
glue genes provides all the core features of glue:
- Interactive, linked statistical graphics
- A user interface for 'glueing' together multiple datasets with complicated relationships
- A highly scriptable and extendable environment
In addition, glue genes provides:
- Data loaders for genomics data file formats, including multiresolution images and transcriptomics data.
- Viewers including: 2D Heatmap, Small Multiples, QTL Viewer
- Menubar plug-ins to facilitate analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data
See the glue genes documentation for installation help.
We recommend installing into a new virtual environment. To install the current stable version use:
pip install "glue-genes[qt6]"
or
pip install "glue-genes[qt5]"
depending on which version of Qt you would like to use (Qt6 is recommended).
To install the latest development version we recommend the following procedure in a new virtual environment:
pip install "glue-genes[qt6]@git+https://git@github.com/gluesolutions/glue-genes.git"
After installation, glue (with the glue genes plug-ins loaded) can be invoked at the terminal:

glue genes is under active development. Please file all bug reports as github issues.
