Hypothesis
The Genome Environment Browser (GEB) can effectively visualize high-throughput experimental data in the context of genome features.
Conclusion
The Genome Environment Browser is a versatile program that can display various types of genome data with known genomic coordinates.
Supporting Evidence
- GEB allows for real-time scanning of large genomic regions.
- The browser can display both genes and non-genic elements.
- GEB provides tools for preliminary quantitative data analysis.
Takeaway
The Genome Environment Browser helps scientists see how different parts of the genome work together by showing lots of data in one place.
Methodology
The GEB was developed using a set of software components that build a core database of genomic feature data from the Ensembl database.
Limitations
The software is platform-dependent for the graphical user interface, which is only suitable for Windows users.
