Genomorama: Genome Visualization Description

Genomorama: Genome Visualization is a multi-scale, multi-genome, multi-platform visualization and analysis program. Genomorama: Genome Visualization is a multi-scale, multi-genome, multi-platform visualization and analysis program. It provides a powerful yet easy to use interface that leverages the visualization power of modern computers (via OpenGL) and the substantial bioinformatic infrastructure provided by the NCBI (via the NCBI C toolkit). Genomorama is written in portable, highly optimized C++ and comes in three "flavors" that allow it to run natively on (most) modern operating systems: OS X (using Carbon), Microsoft Windows (using MFC), and Linux (using Motif). Executables and source code are freely provided for all flavors.Here are some key features of "Genomorama Genome Visualization":· High performance has not been sacrificed on the altar of portability · OpenGL graphics take advantage of the video-game optimized graphics cards available in most desktop and laptop computers.· C++ allows transparent and complete utilization of system resources (like memory).· Native windowing toolkits (Carbon, MFC and Motif) for every operating system facilitate responsiveness and ease of use.· A stand-alone, self-contained executable frees Genomorama from dependence on third party applications.· Source code for all platforms is freely available.· An attractive, full featured user interface· Genomorama presents a clean, uncluttered user interface.· Multi-scale rendering displays relevant details while maintaining readability.· Use a keyboard or a mouse to efficiently zoom, pan and explore genomes of arbitrary size.· Attractive WYSIWYG Postscript and GIF output formats yield publication quality images.· Novel features to aid genome analysis· In addition to the standard searching options (like query by sequence and gene name), Genomorama offers "forward and reverse" DNA hybridization based searches. · Provide a pair of PCR primers, and Genomorama will output the amplicons. · Provide a hybridization probe and Genomorama will find binding sites.· Provide a pair of Padlock probes and Genomorama will identify binding locations· Provide a set of PCR primer criteria (length, melting temperature, base composition, etc.) and Genomorama will find PCR primers.· Genomorama can display and search an arbitrary number of genomes (limited only by computer memory).· Harness the power of the NCBI toolkit to directly access and search the NCBI Entrez database.· Compute melting profile, in addition to traditional base composition plots (i.e. %G+C, %A+T, etc).What's New in This Release:· This release fixes the following bugs: parsing gbk files that contain single base annotations on the complement strand; · missed exact matches at 3' end of target sequence; · fragile parsing of annotation range; · downloading of very large Genbank records (i.e. human chromosomes); · and omitted intergenic space following single base annotations (i.e. SNPs). · Custom color records are now saved to and read from GBK files. · An OS X Intel-specific executable has been added. · The information dialog box has been made resizable.
