The increasing abundance of large-scale, high-throughput datasets for many closely related organisms provides opportunities for comparative analysis via the simultaneous biclustering of datasets from multiple species. These analyses require a reformulation of how to organize multi-species datasets and visualize comparative genomics data analyses results. Recently, we developed a method, multi-species cMonkey, which integrates heterogeneous high-throughput datatypes from multiple species to identify conserved regulatory modules. Here we present an integrated data visualization system, built upon the Gaggle, enabling exploration of our method's results (available at http://meatwad.bio.nyu.edu/cmmr.html). The system can also be used to explore other comparative genomics datasets and outputs from other data analysis procedures – results from other multiple-species clustering programs or from independent clustering of different single-species datasets. We provide an example use of our system for two bacteria, Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium. We illustrate the use of our system by exploring conserved biclusters involved in nitrogen metabolism, uncovering a putative function for yjjI, a currently uncharacterized gene that we predict to be involved in nitrogen assimilation. Advancing high-throughput experimental technologies are providing access to genome-wide measurements for multiple related species on multiple information levels (e.g. mRNA, protein, interactions, functional assays, etc.). We present a biclustering algorithm and an associated visualization system for generating and exploring regulatory modules derived from analysis of integrated multi-species genomics datasets. We use multi-species-cMonkey, an algorithm of our own construction that can integrate diverse systems-biology datatypes from multiple species to form biclusters, or condition-dependent regulatory modules, that are conserved across both the multiple species analyzed and biclusters that are specific to subsets of the processed species. Our resource is an integrated web and java based system that allows biologists to explore both conserved and species-specific biclusters in the context of the data, associated networks for both species, and existing annotations for both species. Our focus in this work is on the use of the integrated system with examples drawn from exploring modules associated with nitrogen metabolism in two Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli and S. Typhimurium.
