Feature-Viewer

Feature-Viewer visualizes biological features mapped onto protein and nucleotide sequences for display and analysis of gene annotations, protein domains, and regulatory elements.


Key Features:

  • JavaScript-based visualization: Implemented as a JavaScript library for rendering sequence-mapped features.
  • Sequence mapping: Displays and analyzes biological data positioned along protein and nucleotide sequences.
  • Support for diverse sequence features: Visual mapping includes gene annotations, protein domains, and regulatory elements.
  • Analysis-focused rendering: Presents positional feature information to facilitate interpretation of complex genomic and proteomic datasets.

Scientific Applications:

  • Gene annotation visualization: Visualizing gene annotations along nucleotide and protein sequences for inspection and comparison.
  • Protein domain mapping: Mapping and inspection of protein domain locations within protein sequences.
  • Regulatory element localization: Locating regulatory elements on nucleotide sequences to support regulatory analysis.
  • Genomic and proteomic data interpretation: Supporting analysis and interpretation of complex sequence-based datasets through positional visualization.

Methodology:

Implemented as a JavaScript-based visualization library that renders biological features on protein and nucleotide sequences for display and analysis.
