A Visual Spreadsheet using HTML5 for Whole Genome Display
Butler, Nada Alhirabi and Greg . 2015
Modern sequencing technology has enabled the cheap, rapid production of
whole genomes. There is a need for tools for the visualization of the data
collected about a whole genome such as genes, proteins, annotations, and
expression data. Two common approaches are the genome browser where
sequence features are displayed as visual elements in tracks and features are
aligned with their genome coordinates, and the spreadsheet where each row
captures the information about a gene and the information is textual in
nature, such as identifiers, descriptions, or sequences.
