Here is a paper from SVG Open 2002 about an SVG Genome browser... Development of an SVG GUI for the visualization of genome data

The genome of this plant consists of DNA sequence information organized into five chromosomes that can be up to 30 million base pairs in length and contain up to 7000 distinct genes distributed along each chromosome. This linear arrangement makes the data particularly amenable to display using SVG as it provides a spatial relationship between the constituent parts of the genome. It is important that the user can scale from an overview encompassing millions of base pairs to a detailed view of a specific region without losing spatial reference as the user will often only be interested in a small part of the whole. For instance, each gene has a specific structure that can only be visualized at high levels of magnification. Additionally, client-side scripting allows the user to create new views, or to request supplemental data which can be loaded and dismissed on demand."
