GenoViz

Tools for Genomic Data Visualization and Data Sharing

The GenoViz project includes several components:

GenoViz SDK (software development kit) is a library of re-usable components for genomics data visualization.
Genometry is a unified data model to represent relationships between biological sequences. It is mainly used in the Integrated Genome Browser.
The 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.
The GenoViz DAS/2 server allows distribution of genomic data using the DAS/2 protocol. (DAS/2 efficiently shares massive genomic datasets derived from next generation sequencing and high density microarray experiments using both binary and text data formats.)
GenoPub is a rich-client Flex web database application (and extension of the DAS/2 server) for organizing and annotating data hosted by the DAS/2 server. GenoPub implements a user-group security model enabling the controlled distribution of public and private datasets. Click for further details.
ProtAnnot is used to visualize alternative splicing and its effects on proteins. Click here for more details.
