ggvariant: Tidy, 'ggplot2'-Native Visualization for Genomic Variants

A simple, opinionated toolkit for visualizing genomic variant data using a 'ggplot2'-native grammar. Accepts VCF files or plain data frames and produces lollipop plots, consequence summaries, mutational spectrum charts, and cohort-level comparisons as standard 'ggplot2' objects. Designed for both wet-lab biologists and experienced bioinformaticians.
