GenoViz

Tools for Genomic Data Visualization

The GenoViz project includes three components:

GenoViz SDK (software development kit) is a library of re-usable components for genomics data visualization. A newer, experimental version of the toolkit (genoviz_lite) is also available.
Genometry is a unified data model to represent relationships between biological sequences. It is mainly used in the Integrated Genome Browser:
Integrated Genome Browser (IGB, pronounced "ig-bee") is a desktop application that uses both the GenoViz SDK and Genometry. It supports visualization and exploration of genes, genomes, and genome-scale data sets, especially data from genome tiling arrays. IGB can display data from multiple data sources, including DAS (Distributed Annotation System) servers and local files on your file system.

To view or obtain source code, visit the Genoviz project pages: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genoviz/.

Please report bugs and feature requests using the request tracker provided on the GenoViz project pages.
