Vol. 23, No. 7(July 2018)

A row of houses and a mountain can be seen behind rafts for cultivation of laver lined up in parallel. It just looks like a visualization of RNA-seq data mapped to a reference genome in order to see the depth of coverages (mountain) of reads (rafts) around a certain exon (row of houses) . We thank Dr. Fumiki Katsuoka (Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University) for providing such a splendid idea for us.
