RNAseqViewer: Visualizing RNA-Seq data

transcriptome

RNAseqViewer let you visualize the various data from the RNA-Seq analyzing process, for single or multiple samples. By focusing on gene expression and transcript isoforms, the program offers innovative ways to present the transcriptome data.

Program features

 

tkfoplp-05

RNAseqViewer currently supports 7 types of data often used in RNA-Seq analysis (see table 1). Different types of view for each data set allow the visualization of different levels of information, including heatmap-like views for informative and yet very compact tracks, making possible to visualize dozens of samples simultaneously.

The user interface has been design to enable smooth browsing of the data. RNAseqViewer supports dynamic zooming and panning using the mouse, the keyboard or the buttons of the interface. Direct access to a specific position is possible by specifying coordinates or a gene's name.

Special attention has been given to the memory management, so that very large data sets can be visualized without exceeding memory limits nor affecting the fluidity of the user interface.

Other features include the possibility to hide intronic regions, the choice of the interface language (currently English, Chinese or French) and the possibility to print out the graphs or to export to PDF or image format.
