Visualizing Gene Co-expression as Google Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 that biologists appreciate this approach because it facilitates low-overhead access to readily analyzable perspectives of unfamiliar datasets and because it offers a convenient way of disseminating large datasets in visual form.

Poster: Visualizing Protein Interaction Networks as Google Maps
We present a lightweight approach for exploring large protein interaction networks in browsers using the Google Maps API. Feedback from an anecdotal evaluation shows that immediate access to data, low learning overhead and familiarity are appreciated by proteomic researchers, that linking map-zooming to a protein-relevance filter to create a multi-level layout of interacting proteins is desirab...
متن کاملIdentification of Prognostic Genes in Her2-enriched Breast Cancer by Gene Co-Expression Net-work Analysis
Introduction: HER2-enriched subtype of breast cancer has a worse prognosis than luminal subtypes. Recently, the discovery of targeted therapies in other groups of breast cancer has increased patient survival. The aim of this study was to identify genes that affect the overall survival of this group of patients based on a systems biology approach. Methods: Gene expression data and clinical infor...

Background Specific growth factors and feeder layers seem to have important roles in in vitro embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation. In this study,the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) co-culture system on germ cell differentiation from mouse ESCs were studied. MaterialsAndMethods Cell suspension was prepared from one-day-old embryoid bo...
متن کاملMap : rtopmap
In this paper we describe a system for visualizing and analyzing worldwide research topics, rtopmap. We gather data from google scholar academic research profiles, putting together a weighted topics graph, consisting of over 35,000 nodes and 646,000 edges. The nodes correspond to self-reported research topics, and edges correspond to cooccurring topics in google scholar profiles. The rtopmap sy...
متن کاملVisualizing Spatial Data using SAS® and Google Static Maps
We present a new tool that enables SAS users to overlay various spatial patterns on Google Static Maps in a straightforward manner. The tool relies on the graphical functionality from the DATA Step Graphical Interface, and is structured in a way that a variety of graphical forms or spatial information from different data sources can be combined effectively. We give an extensive discussion of th...
