This document outlines the steps needed to recreate figure 1A, 1B and 2A-C. To
generate the artifacts in these figures, we recommend installing
Empress, cloning this repository, and
following the steps in the Jupyter notebooks (see the notebooks
folder).
For visualizing the QZV files we recommend using Safari or Firefox, since Google Chrome is known to show degraded performance when loading large files in certain cases (for example Figure 1A-B). See here for details on this.
