| + | ==Description== |
| + | |
| + | Flash GViewer is a '''customizable Flash movie''' that can be easily inserted into a web page to display each chromosome in a genome along with the locations of individual features on the chromosomes. It is '''intended to provide an overview of the genomic locations of a specific set of features''' - eg. genes and QTLs associated with a specific phenotype, etc. rather than as a way to view all features on the genome. The features can hyperlink out to a detail page to enable to GViewer to be used as a navigation tool. In addition the bands on the chromosomes can link to defineable URL and new region selection sliders can be used to select a specific chromosome region and then link out to a genome browser for higher resolution information. |

− | '''Current features (v0.4) include:'''
| |
− | :* Uses a base map containing the chromosomes and banding pattern<br /> of the desired organism. Perl scripts are available to take the UCSC<br /> cytogenetic map files and convert them to the appropriate XML format.<br /> This can also be used to portray any other custom backdrop for a<br /> chromosome - colored segments corresponding to syntenic regions in<br /> other organisms, colored according to feature density, etc.
| |
− | :* Bands can link out to a URL defined in the base map (to allow users<br /> to click to view a region in a genome browser, for example).
| |
− | :* Annotations can come from a static XML file or can be dynamically<br /> generated by a server-side script
| |
− | :* Features appear at the appropriate position on the chromosome and<br /> then dynamically move out to form a non-overlapping display.
| |
− | :* Placing the mouse over individual features brings up a tooltip<br /> displaying the feature's name, it also visually highlights the region<br /> of the chromosome that the feature is aligned with
| |
− | :* Clicking on a feature toggles the highlight display so it will<br /> stay on when you move the mouse away. This can be used to turn on<br /> the region highlights for multiple features to better visualize their<br /> overlapping regions. Click again to turn each feature's highlight<br /> off.
| |
| | | |
− | * Clicking on a feature can open up a new browser window with a<br /> cusomizable URL, eg a gene report page.
| + | ==Demo & Screenshots== |
− | * Clicking on a chromosome will expand that chromosome and enlarge<br /> and label the features making them easier to view. Click the chromosome<br /> again to return the whole genome view.
| + | |
− | * Turn on/off labels for zoom view and genome view (press i button<br /> in bottom left corner). Click redraw to refresh the view to show/hide<br /> labels.
| + | |
− | * <span class="style11">(New in v0.4) </span>Javascript can be used<br /> to dynamically highlight displayed annotations by using triggering<br /> javascript functions in the web page containing the flash movie.<br /> Javascript can be used to query annotation data from the flash movie<br /> and handle the returned data.
| + | |
− | * Customizable web interface and perl CGI script provided to allow<br /> users to upload annotations and display them on the GViewer against<br /> the base map of their choice.
| + | |
− | * <span class="style11">(New in v0.4)</span> Region selection sliders<br /> in Zoom View allow the selection of a genomic region so you can<br /> then click to open up a genome browser window for the specified<br /> region.
