Abstract

UNLABELLED: Analyzing and visualizing multiple sequence alignments is a common task in many areas of molecular biology and bioinformatics. Many tools exist for this purpose, but are not easily customizable for specific in-house uses. Here we report the development of an editor, CINEMA-MX, that addresses these issues. CINEMA-MX is highly modular and configurable, and we present examples to illustrate its extensibility. AVAILABILITY: The program and full source code, which are available from http://www.bioinf.man.ac.uk/dbbrowser/cinema-mx, are being released under a combination of the LGPL and GPL, for Unix or Windows platforms.

MuGeN: simultaneous exploration of multiple genomes and computer analysis results.

MOTIVATION: The availability of increasing amounts of sequence data about completely sequenced genomes spurs the development of new methods in the fields of automated annotation, and of comparative genomics. Tools allowing the visualization of results produced by analysis methods, superimposed on possibly annotated sequence data, and enabling synchronized navigation in multiple genomes, provide new means for interactive genome exploration. This kind of visual inspection can be used as a basis to assess the quality of new analysis algorithms, or to discover genome portions to be subjected to in-depth studies. RESULTS: We propose a software package, MuGeN, built for navigating through multiple annotated genomes. It is capable of retrieving annotated sequences in several formats, stored in local files, or available in databases over the network. From these, it then generates an interactive display, or an image file, in most common formats suitable for printing, further editing or integrating in Web pages. Genome maps may be mixed with computer analysis results loaded from XML files, whose format is generic enough to be adapted to a majority of sequence oriented analysis methods. AVAILABILITY: MuGeN is available at http://www-mig.jouy.inra.fr/bdsi/MuGeN.

GoMiner: a resource for biological interpretation of genomic and proteomic data.

We have developed GoMiner, a program package that organizes lists of 'interesting' genes (for example, under- and overexpressed genes from a microarray experiment) for biological interpretation in the context of the Gene Ontology. GoMiner provides quantitative and statistical output files and two useful visualizations. The first is a tree-like structure analogous to that in the AmiGO browser and the second is a compact, dynamically interactive 'directed acyclic graph'. Genes displayed in GoMiner are linked to major public bioinformatics resources.
