Title
Bioinformatics visualization and integration with open standards: the Bluejay genomic browser.
Abstract
ABSTRACT: We have created a new,Java,-based integrated computational,environment,for the exploration of genomic data, called Bluejay. The system is capable of using almost any XML file related to genomic data. Non-XML data sources can be accessed via a proxy server. Bluejay has several features, which are new to Bioinformatics, including an unlimited semantic zoom capability, coupled with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) outputs; an implementation of the XLink standard, which features access to MAGPIE Genecards as well as any BioMOBY service accessible over the Internet; and the integration of gene chip analysis tools with the functional assignments. The system can be used as a signed web applet, Web Start, and a local stand-alone application, with or without connection to the Internet. It is available free of charge and as open source via http://bluejay.ucalgary.ca. KEYWORDS: Bioinformatics, visualization, open standards, eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Scalable Vector Graphics
