MetaLook -- a 3D visualisation software for marine ecological genomics
What you can do:
For visualisation and analysis of marine ecological genomic and metagenomic data with respect to habitat parameters.
Highlights:
- MetaLook offers a three-dimensional user interface to interactively visualise DNA sequences on a world map, based on a centralised georeferenced database.
- The user can define environmental containers to organise the sequences according to different habitat criteria.
- To find similar sequences, the containers can be queried with either genes from the georeferenced database or user-imported sequences, using the BLAST algorithm.
- This allows an interactive assessment of the distribution of gene functions in the environment.
