+**Gosling.js** takes the Gosling specification as an input and creates the visualization defined by it. You can programmatically interact with this visualization using the [React component API](react-api).
 
 For example, you can use an API function to make the visualization zoom to a particular genomic position, or you can subscribe to click events in the visualization. This is useful to building your own interactive visualizations with Gosling!
