Genomics Figures: an AI genomics figure maker for sequencing, single-cell, and CRISPR work

From scRNA-seq pipelines and phylogenetic trees with expression heatmaps to CRISPR editing mechanisms and multi-omics integration schematics, LabFig turns a plain-language description into a clean, journal-quality genomics figure in seconds with text to figure — or pull a workflow straight out of a methods paper using PDF to figure. Built for genomicists, bioinformaticians, and computational biologists — every gene label, branch, and arrow in the genomics figure stays editable on the vector canvas afterward.

How it works

From pipeline to a publication genomics figure in three steps

Describe the genomics figure you need, let LabFig lay it out, then refine and export — no Illustrator, no waiting on a designer.

1Step 1

Describe the genomics figure

Spell out the stages, samples, and readouts: a scRNA-seq pipeline from dissociation to UMAP, a variant-calling schematic, a CRISPR knockout mechanism, or a multi-omics integration flow. Name the assays, gene panels, and clusters you want shown.

LabFig generates a publication-quality draft genomics figure

2Step 2

Generate the draft

LabFig reads the biology and arranges the panels, branches, heatmaps, and labeled arrows into a clean, journal-style genomics figure — count matrices, phylogenies, and pipeline stages already aligned.

Refine on the vector canvas and export to SVG, PDF or PNG

3Step 3

Refine and export

Rename a gene, recolor a clade, relabel a cluster, or regenerate one panel of the genomics figure on the vector canvas, then export SVG, PDF, or 300dpi PNG straight into your manuscript or grant.

Why LabFig for genomics

A genomics figure maker that speaks sequencing.

Genomics figures carry a lot of structure — barcodes, branches, omics layers, repair pathways. LabFig understands that structure and outputs an editable, submission-ready genomics figure instead of flat illustrations.

Sequencing & single-cell

scRNA-seq and sequencing workflows

Render an end-to-end single-cell pipeline — tissue dissociation, droplet capture with cell barcodes and UMIs, library prep, a genes-by-cells count matrix, and UMAP clustering with annotated cell types — as a genomics figure laid out like a Nature Methods workflow panel.

Comparative & multi-omics

Phylogenies, heatmaps, and omics integration

Pair a rooted phylogenetic tree (branch lengths, bootstrap support, italicized taxa) with an aligned expression or presence/absence heatmap, or chart a multi-omics integration pipeline stacking genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics into a joint embedding.

Mechanisms & variants

CRISPR editing and variant-calling schematics

Draw a CRISPR-Cas9 mechanism — sgRNA targeting, PAM recognition, double-strand break, and NHEJ vs HDR repair — or a variant-calling schematic from reads to alignment, pileup, and called SNVs/indels, with every label editable for your study.

Genomics figure FAQ

Common questions about making a sequencing, single-cell, or genome-editing genomics figure with LabFig.

Describe the pipeline stage by stage — tissue dissociation, droplet capture with cell barcodes and UMIs, library prep and sequencing, the genes-by-cells count matrix, and UMAP or t-SNE clustering with the cell types you want annotated. LabFig arranges the stages into a labeled left-to-right workflow, and you can rename clusters, recolor populations, or adjust any panel on the vector canvas before export. For a deeper walkthrough, read how teams make AI figures for single-cell biology.

Yes. Ask for a rooted tree with branch lengths, a substitutions/site scale bar, bootstrap support values, and italicized taxon names, paired with an aligned heatmap whose rows match the tree tips — for example log2 expression or gene presence/absence across a panel of genes. The tree and heatmap share a common y-axis, and you can edit taxa, gene columns, and the colorbar afterward.

It does. You can generate a CRISPR-Cas9 mechanism genomics figure showing sgRNA targeting, PAM recognition, the HNH and RuvC nuclease domains, the double-strand break, and the branch into NHEJ (error-prone indels) versus HDR (template-directed precise edits). Base editing and prime editing schematics work the same way — describe the steps and refine the labels on the canvas. For pathway, structure, and cell-biology context around your edits, the companion biology figure maker covers those schematics in the same editable style.

Yes. For multi-omics, describe the layers you're integrating — genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics — and how they feed a joint analysis or embedding, and LabFig lays out the integration flow. For variant calling, describe the path from raw reads through alignment, pileup, and filtering to called SNVs and indels, and it builds the schematic with editable stage labels.

LabFig follows common publication conventions for resolution, typography, and color, and exports vector SVG and PDF plus 300dpi PNG so each genomics figure stays crisp at print size. As with any tool, check your target journal's specific figure guidelines — column widths, fonts, and file formats for Nature Genetics, Nature Methods, Genome Biology, or Bioinformatics — before you submit.
