Abstract: A system and method for the visualization and analysis of genome informatics that provides a visualization tool for bioinformatics. Genomic data for many organisms from disparate sources are integrated into a relational database, which continually may be expanded and updated from public sources. Users can visually organize this information, and navigate to points of interest through a graphical interface. Once an object of interest has been located, the relevant data may be extracted in a convenient form specified by the user. The original data remain accessible and can be manipulated or reorganized. Users can import their own data, fully integrate them into the graphical display and add personal annotations to data stored in the database. Biological data integration, data visualization, data annotation, and data storage/management modules provide a unifying interface for bioinformatic data from divergent sources.
