JavaScript has many modern libraries, which can be used to develop beautiful web-applications. The main advantage of javascript is that it is very easy to learn and use. It is a high level programming language supported by all major browsers. Genomics is a branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes. A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Genomics aims at the collective characterization and quantification of genes, which direct the production of proteins with the aid of enzymes and messenger molecules. Genomics also involves the sequencing and analysis of genomes through uses of high throughput DNA sequencing and bioinformatics. Some of the most widely used open source libraries for JavaScript Genomics among developers include: igv.js - Embeddable genomic visualization component based; jbrowse - A modern genome browser built with JavaScript and HTML5; dna2json - Formats your genome file as JSON.
