The document discusses the development of new plugins for the TranSMART platform to add genomic visualization capabilities. It describes requirements like adding an HTML5 genome browser and supporting visualization of genomic variants and copy number variation data. It then details the process of consulting the community to choose the Dalliance genome browser and MyDAS backend, and extending the core API to support these plugins. The plugins were implemented and added to TranSMART to provide the new genomic visualization features.
