Newbie - Plotting Genes on Genomic Axis and Creating a Genomic Browser

I have genomic data involving multiple genes of Yeast and wish to create a Genomic Browser with several tracks with Shiny and R. I would like to incorporate statistical analysis on transcription width for each gene below it.

At the very least, I wish to be able to plot all the genes with a name label on the genomic axis.

Any packages that can be used to do this?

gen sequencing

If I may, reinventing the wheel is a waste of time - unless you are doing it as a personal project. https://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/ is always nice, and there is also the UCSC genome browser - they can at least give you an idea of what functionalities to implement.

That makes sense, thank you. Will these include functionality to add custom tracks with statistics?

(sorry duplicate post)

You can use Gviz, an example can be found in:
