Docker container for PatchWorkPlot, a tool for visualization of pairwise alignments of multiple sequences as dot plots arranged into an upper or lower triangular matrix.
Pospelova M, Safonova Y. PatchWorkPlot: simultaneous visualization of local alignments across multiple sequences. Bioinformatics. 2025; btaf504. doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf504.
docker pull picotainers/patchworkplot:latestThe image includes PatchWorkPlot and minimap2. For alignment-based runs, explicitly select minimap2:
docker run --rm picotainers/patchworkplot:latest --help
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:$PWD" -w "$PWD" picotainers/patchworkplot:latest \
-i input_config.csv \
-o patchwork_output \
--aligner minimap2- The upstream package defaults to
lastz, which is not bundled here. - Use
--aligner minimap2unless you provide custom alignment files. - Upstream repository: https://github.com/yana-safonova/PatchWorkPlot
