Abstract

Experimental techniques that survey an entire genome demand flexible, highly interactive visualization tools that can display new data alongside foundation datasets, such as reference gene annotations. The Integrated Genome Browser (IGB) aims to meet this need. IGB is an open source, desktop graphical display tool implemented in Java that supports real-time zooming and panning through a genome; layout of genomic features and datasets in moveable, adjustable tiers; incremental or genome-scale data loading from remote web servers or local files; and dynamic manipulation of quantitative data via genome graphs.

Availability: The application and source code are available from http://igb.bioviz.org and http://genoviz.sourceforge.net.

Visualizing ESTs and tiling array data. ESTs (blue) are from a 454 sequencing experiment (Weber et al., 2007). An Annotation Depth Graph (red) summarizes ESTs covering Arabidopsis gene model AT4G37300.1 (dark blue). An expression tiling array genome graph is shown in blue/yellow heatmap style (Yamada et al., 2003). Data are from Arabidopsis seedlings.
