Whiteboard

Whiteboard provides a C++ class library for visualization and integrated computational analysis of large and complex bioinformatics datasets.


Key Features:

  • C++ class library: Implemented as a C++ class library for programmatic integration into bioinformatics workflows.
  • Integrated visualization and computation: Couples visualization directly with computation to enable real-time analysis and graphical representation of complex datasets.
  • Versatile graphing capabilities: Supports basic drawing of simple objects, color manipulation, and creation of compound graphs for detailed data representation.
  • High-performance rendering and scalability: Provides efficient, scalable rendering of graphical elements suitable for large datasets and high-performance visualization tasks.
  • Flexible data-type and format support: Framework can be adapted to various data types and formats encountered in biological data analyses.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genomic data visualization: Visualizes large-scale genomic datasets to reveal structure and patterns within sequence and genome-wide data.
  • Proteomic data visualization: Represents complex proteomic datasets to aid interpretation of protein-level relationships and patterns.
  • Exploration of large biological datasets: Enables graphical exploration of complex relationships in large-scale biological data to support pattern discovery.

Methodology:

Implemented as a C++ class library with high-performance rendering to enable efficient, scalable visualization adaptable to various data types and formats.
