Genome Viewer

A genome viewer is provided which shows the location of genome features on a chromosome. If genes are selected then their corresponding expression profiles are selected in other open visualisations (and visa versa).

The viewer uses a variety of user controllable layout policies to visualise the features associated with a chromosome (or contig):

1. All the features are displayed in a single track, with features in the same location are overlayed on each other (packed and merged)
2. All the features displayed in a single track, with features in the same location being stack on top of each other (unpacked and merged)
3. Features are split into different tracks depending on their type, within each track features at the same location are overlayed on each other (packed and unmerged)
4. Features are split into different tracks depending on their type, within each track features at the same location are stacked on top of each other (unpacked and unmerged).

The different layout policies are available through the popup menu on the genome viewer(s). The popup menu can also be used to zoom in/out of the different viewers.
