Sometimes, there are as many as hundreds of SNPs invoved in one gene. Dandelion plot can be used to depict such dense SNPs. Please note that the height of the dandelion indicates the desity of the SNPs.

methy <- import(system.file("extdata", "methy.bed", package="trackViewer"), "BED")

trs <- geneModelFromTxdb(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene,
org.Hs.eg.db,
gr=gr)
features <- c(range(trs[[1]]$dat), range(trs[[5]]$dat))
names(features) <- c(trs[[1]]$name, trs[[5]]$name)
features$fill <- c("lightblue", "mistyrose")
features$height <- c(.02, .04)
dandelion.plot(methy, features, ranges=gr, type="pin")
There are one more type for dandelion plot, i.e., type “fan”. The area of the fan indicates the percentage of methylation or rate of mutation.
Users can also specify the maximum distance between neighboring dandelions by setting the maxgaps as a GRanges object.
