X:Map, a Genome Browser
Tim Yates is one of the latest member who joined the bioinformatics group on 'Nature Network'. Dr Yates works as a Research Programmer at the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research. On his web page is introduced X:MAP: an interactive, real-time scrollable, genome browser that shows the location of individual exon probes with respect to their target genes, transcripts and exons.

That is really nice. Exactly what's been discussed at NN and elsewhere for a long time: the "Google Maps" of genome browsers. And they said it couldn't be done!
ReplyDeleteCool indeed. Personally, being a metabolite man (*), I am more interesting in a interactive pathway map. Does something like that exist too?
ReplyDelete*) No, not drugs!
That is amazing. So easy to use.
