GenoZoom: Browsing the genome with Microsoft Biology Foundation, DeepZoom and Silverlight
A key disadvantage of current genome browsers is the inability to support smooth navigation of data from high to low resolutions at rapid speed. This project attempts to address this issue by utilizing the richness enabled by Silverlight and DeepZoom technologies to build a genome browser, allowing users to naturally navigate and explore the multi-dimensional information across a genome. In addition, the genome browser will enable input of custom data and user annotations.
Speaker Details
Xin-Yi Chua is currently studying at QUT, Australia, in the area of bioinformatics – applying machine learning techniques to improve the reliability of transcriptional regulatory inferences in order to identify strain specific differences in bacteria, specifically focusing on factors influencing virulence. During this summer at MSR she is looking at interactive and intuitive ways to visualize large-scale genomic data to assist in comprehending complex information.
