seaborn

Definition
AI-generated

seaborn is a Python visualization library built on Matplotlib with high-level functions for statistical graphics—distributions, heatmaps, and facet grids—using tidy tables (often pandas).

Why it matters in GWAS

Exploratory figures for phenotypes, annotation covariates, and simple summaries beside genome-wide plots are quick to prototype in notebooks; seaborn reduces boilerplate compared to raw Matplotlib for common statistical chart types.

Example usage

"We used seaborn violin plots to compare PRS distributions by ancestry group before sensitivity analyses."
