## Abstract

Recent advancements in single-cell and spatial omics technologies have generated a large amount of complex, high-dimensional data, which poses significant challenges to visualization tools. We introduce SGS (single-cell and spatial genomics system), a user-friendly, collaborative, and versatile browser designed for visualizing single-cell and spatial multimodal data. SGS excels in the integrative visualization of complex multimodal data, offering an innovative genome browser, flexible visualization modes, and 3D spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) data visualization capabilities. Notably, SGS empowers users with advanced capabilities for comparative visualization through features like scCompare, scMultiView, and the dual-chromosome mode. It supports a variety of data formats and is compatible with established analysis tools, enabling collaborative data exploration and visualization without programming. Overall, SGS is a comprehensive browser that enables researchers to unlock novel insights from multimodal data.
