This paper reports an innovative approach to extend the “power” of Google Maps to adaptive learning. We have designed and implemented a navigator for multi-layer social knowledge maps, namely Progress...

Visualizing Gene Co-expression as Google Maps

We visualize gene co-regulation patterns by creating 2D embeddings from microarray data corresponding to complete gene sets from the mouse genome, across large numbers of cell types. We use google maps and client-side graphics to dissiminate pre-rendered such visualizations with a small but intuitive set of interactions. We conduct an anecdotal evaluation with domain specialists and demonstrate...

Adding Panoramas to Google Maps Using Ajax
