How to plot positions along a chromosome graphic
I would like to generate a plot depicting 14 linear chromosomes for the organism I work on, to scale, with coloured bars at specified locations along each chromosome. Ideally I'd like to use R as this is the only programming language I have experience with. I have explored various ways of doing this e.g. with GenomeGraphs but I have found this is all more complicated than what I want/ displays a lot more data than what I have (e.g. displaying cytogenic bands) and is often specific for human chromosomes. All I essentially want is 14 grey bars of the following sizes: chromosome size 1 640851 2
