SnipViz

SnipViz visualizes multiple related gene and protein sequence variants in the web browser to support comparative analysis, evolutionary study, and functional annotation.

Key Features:

• Multi-version sequence visualization: Renders multiple related gene and protein sequence variants simultaneously for direct comparison.
• Space-efficient rendering: Produces compact visual representations to present many sequence versions within limited display area.
• Client-side implementation: Implements visualization and sequence processing using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS within the web browser without server-side computation.
• Variant handling: Represents alleles, strain-specific variants, and cross-species homologs for comparative analyses.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative genomics: Visual comparison of multiple gene and protein sequence versions for allele and strain analyses.
• Evolutionary studies: Examination of homologs across species to support phylogenetic and divergence analyses.
• Functional annotation: Assessment of sequence variations to inform functional annotation of genes and proteins.

Methodology:

Processes sequence data on the client side using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to render and compare sequences in the browser rather than performing server-side computations.
