This is a LaTeX package for drawing genetic construct pictograms using TikZ. Under development, there are no reusable macros at the moment.
We provide a TikZ library called dna that installs one core macro,
\dnaplot.
\usetikzlibrary{dna}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node (dox) at (0,1) {dox};
\dnaplot []
features
{ [name=segment 1] {
promoter [name=p1],
coding sequence [name=gA],
terminator
},
[anchor=north west, right=1cm of segment 1.base east] {
promoter [name=p2],
coding sequence [name=gB],
terminator
}
}
regulation { (dox) -| {gB -| p1, gA -| p2} };
\end{tikzpicture}
Compare this image with this gallery entry from dnaplotlib. The image above was drawn entirely in TikZ, the source is in example.tex.
