Information Graphics and Data Visualization

In order to provide novel views into information and data generated by the BCBC, methods and tools continue to be developed to provide visual mechanisms for the purposes of information discovery and analysis.

Visualization of Gene Networks

First released on May 19, 2009, and based on the collaborative efforts of the BCBC Coordinating Center informatics group and the Beta Cell Genomics bioinformatics group, we developed an interactive graph-based gene network browser. Of interest to many are gene-relationships in the context of one or more development (or other) context. Additional information is available at the Beta Cell Genomics Methods page. Below is an overview of the Flash-based application developed. To launch the application, for the mouse Pdx1 gene, click on the image below:
