GeMo: a web-based platform for the visualization and curation of genome ancestry mosaics.

In silico chromosome painting is a technique by which contributions of distinct genetic groups are represented along chromosomes of hybrid individuals. This type of analysis is used to study the mechanisms by which these individuals were formed. Such techniques are well adapted to identify genetic groups contributing to these individuals as well as hybridization events.

PLAZA 5.0: extending the scope and power of comparative and functional genomics in plants.

PLAZA is a platform for comparative, evolutionary, and functional plant genomics. It makes a broad set of genomes, data types and analysis tools available to researchers through a user-friendly website, an API, and bulk downloads. In this latest release of the PLAZA platform, we are integrating a record number of 134 high-quality plant genomes, split up over two instances: PLAZA Dicots 5.

Accessing NCBI data using the NCBI Sequence Viewer and Genome Data Viewer (GDV).

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is an archive providing free access to a wide range and large volume of biological sequence data and literature. Staff scientists at NCBI analyze user-submitted data in the archive, producing gene and SNP annotation and generating sequence alignment tools. NCBI's flagship genome browser, Genome Data Viewer (GDV), displays our in-house RefSeq annotation; is integrated with other NCBI resources such as Gene, dbGaP, and BLAST; and provides a platform for customized analysis and visualization.

Viewing RNA-seq data on the entire human genome.

RNA-Seq Viewer is a web application that enables users to visualize genome-wide expression data from NCBI's Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The application prototype was created by a small team during a three-day hackathon facilitated by NCBI at Brandeis University. The backend data pipeline was developed and deployed on a shared AWS EC2 instance.
