Arabidopsis 2010: Visualization Software and Data Server for Arabidopsis

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校获得了一笔赠款，用于开发一个社区资源，用于在交互式桌面环境中整理大规模基因组数据集。该项目满足了对灵活、高度交互的软件工具的需求，这些工具可以处理大型基因组数据的复杂性，并将包括用于大规模数据分发的快速加载存储库、用于增量数据访问的分布式注释服务器和用于可视化的集成基因组浏览器等功能。编程工具和教程将使用户能够在这个桌面平台上构建新的应用程序。该系统将包括对现有组件的增强，如改进的查询能力、数据文档和新颖的可视化技术。可视化系统旨在提供更具互动性的体验，最大限度地提高更多研究人员对基因组数据的理解，并将激发新的跨学科问题和研究机会。该项目实施的生物信息学和计算生物学方面的教育工具和实习计划将增加对计算生物学和植物的认识和知识，并将向更多的学生介绍科学研究的过程和乐趣。

The University of North Carolina, Charlotte is awarded a grant to develop a community resource for collating large-scale genomic datasets within an interactive desktop environment. The project responds to the need for flexible, high-interactive software tools that can deal with the complexity of large genomic data and will include features such as a Quickload repository for large-scale data distribution, a distributed annotation Server for incremental data access, and an integrated genome browser for visualization. Programming tools and tutorials will enable users to build new applications on top of this desktop platform. The system will incorporate enhancements to existing components such as improved query capability, data documentation, and novel visualization techniques. The visualization system is designed to offer a more interactive experience that will maximize understanding of genomic data among a greater number of researchers and will inspire new trans-disciplinary questions and research opportunities. Educational tools and internship programs in bioinformatics and computational biology carried out by this project will increase awareness and knowledge of computational biology and plants and will introduce more students to the process and joys of scientific research.
