3D Genome Viewer (3DGV)

3D Genome Viewer (3DGV) visualizes three-dimensional genome models derived from Hi-C data using virtual reality to enable spatial analysis of genome organization and regulatory mechanisms.

Key Features:

• Immersive visualization: Utilizes virtual reality to display and interact with complex 3D genomic structures.
• Hi-C data processing: Processes Hi-C data to construct detailed three-dimensional models of genomic architecture.
• Enhanced spatial interpretation: Provides a spatial navigation approach intended to address limitations of traditional two-dimensional viewers for interpreting genome organization.

Scientific Applications:

• Genome organization studies: Visualization of 3D genomic structures to analyze chromosomal arrangements and their functional implications.
• Regulatory mechanism exploration: Examination of how spatial genome configurations influence gene regulation and expression patterns.

Methodology:

Processes Hi-C data to construct detailed 3D models of genomic architecture and employs virtual reality technology to create an interactive environment for exploring those models.
