I'm looking to create a chromosome ideogram similar to the one shown here. Does anyone have experience or suggestions on how to do this?The author's description is as follows: 'We visually present the shared genomic loci annotated by cytogenetic regions based on the GRCh37 cytoband (Fig. 2a).' However, I'm still confused about how to generate such a plot.
Prior threads that may be of interest:

I have a list of tools tagged "ideogram" here https://cmdcolin.github.io/awesome-genome-visualization/?latest=true&tag=Ideogram
that particular figure that you posted looks very similar to output of the PhenoGram tool, but it is an older web server / ruby based tool. It's probably getting a little "old" now, most people would probably reach for an R or Python based tool these days I would guess. Personal note: I think it's a real travesty that people don't say or cite what visualization tools they use
