Genomics visualization

A visualization in this vault is a teaching object, not a decoration on a post. It exists to make one genetics claim — usually a single evergreen note — feel true to a reader who has the algebra but not yet the intuition. The bar is high: an interactive figure earns its place only when motion or interactivity does work that a static plot cannot (watching allele frequency drift to fixation across replicate populations teaches drift in a way a single trajectory never will).

This skill is the domain specialization layer. The mechanics live elsewhere and are assumed: d3-visualization for scales, shapes, layouts, transitions, and interaction (zoom/pan/brush); visual-storytelling-design for narrative structure and the annotation layer; cognitive-design for why an encoding works (preattentive processing, encoding hierarchy, working-memory limits). Use those three for the how; use this for the what, the genomics-specific encodings, and the publish path into docs/.

Every figure is built around the publishing claim, so begin from the evergreen note it serves, and let its declarative title become the figure's takeaway title.

1. Concept → visualization catalog

Pick the form from the concept. Each row names the encoding spine and the one interaction that earns the "interactive" label.
