Dash is a web application framework that provides pure Julia abstraction
around HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Dash Bio is a suite of bioinformatics components that make it simpler to
analyze and visualize bioinformatics data and interact with them in a Dash
application.

The source can be found on GitHub at [plotly/dash-bio](https://github.com/plotly/dash-bio).

These docs are using Dash Bio version 0.7.0.
