🎄Day 21: Ggplot efficiency part 3 🎄 Need many plots with the same style/formatting but slightly different inputs? 💡Create a custom ggplot function! Define your plot upfront in the function. Then run the function for each new plot with different inputs.

Visualize genomic data with ease using gggenomes, an R package that extends ggplot2 to handle and display genomic information intuitively. Whether you’re comparing genomes, analyzing features, or showcasing synteny, gggenomes provides the tools you need to turn complex genomic
