The human genome (23 chromosomes) is estimated to be about 3 billion base pairs long and to contain 20,000- 25,000 distinct genes.

Slide 6

Chromosomes A chromosome is a single piece of DNA that contains many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences.genes regulatory elements nucleotide sequences Problem: DNA is 90% noise, so therefore zooming alone is not so useful (e.g. try some of the conventional viewers in the last slide). Semantic zooming given some good design ideas would probably work well. In the meantime

Gene trade cards Name Band Location Start base pair within chromosome End base pair within chromosome Short description Link to NIH gene page Protein sequence each letter represents a codon or aminoacid which is really a trio of base pairs ATGC the color scheme matches some existing colors used in protein visualization Name Band Location Start base pair within chromosome End base pair within chromosome Short description Link to NIH gene page Protein sequence each letter represents a codon or aminoacid which is really a trio of base pairs ATGC the color scheme matches some existing colors used in protein visualization All data obtained in semi-automated fashion. Plenty of databases around but each requires different massaging. Most data here is from ENSEMBLs BioMart.BioMart Other classifications/taxonomies would really help and can be added. For example protein types like collagen, or other chemical/medical/pharmaceutical classifications would be useful. MSR?

PivotViewer Collections Large groups of related content Each item contains both an image and meta data The meta data is stored in a format called CXML The images are stored in the Deep Zoom format (DZI/DZC) Collection can range from simple, static content to complex dynamic systems which are built directly into content storage systems Large groups of related content Each item contains both an image and meta data The meta data is stored in a format called CXML The images are stored in the Deep Zoom format (DZI/DZC) Collection can range from simple, static content to complex dynamic systems which are built directly into content storage systems

Slide 11

Up to 5,000 items Metadata is static and loaded all at once Visuals are static and contained in one DZC Example: Climate Change Data PivotViewer Simple Collections

Slide 12

Limited only by storage complexity Metadata is static and loaded in parts Visuals are static and contained in multiple DZCs Example: Chromosome Collections Collection is stored as static files and multiple logical units PivotViewer Linked Collections
