The recent scientific achievement of sequencing the human genome has
the biological sciences entering the realm of “Big Science.”
DNA sequencing machines are responsible for the recent exponential growth
in the total amount of sequenced genetic data available to scientists.
With Big Science, then, has come Big Data. The new challenge is to build
tools that enable exploration, discovery, and interactive analysis within
these data.
The Integrated Interactive Bioinformatic Visualization System (
)
allows the biological scientist to interactively explore, browse and annotate
multiple datasets and create biological knowledge. By applying Computer
Science’s gains in data visualization and human-computer interaction
to the realm of Biological Science using principles of information design,
will prove
to be an invaluable tool in helping biologists understand the meaning
and use of genetic structures.
