Motivation: Although the Python programming language counts many Bioinformatics and Computational Biology libraries; none offers customizable sequence annotation visualizations with layout optimization.
Results: DNA Features Viewer is a sequence annotation plotting library which optimizes plot readability while letting users tailor other visual aspects (colors, labels, highlights etc.) to their particular use case.
Availability and implementation: Open-source code and documentation are available on Github under the MIT license (https://github.com/Edinburgh-Genome-Foundry/DnaFeaturesViewer).
Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
