Abstract
A method and system for visual display of feature extraction results to a user of a molecular array feature extraction software package. The feature extraction results are displayed as visual marks superimposed on an image of a molecular array, and numerical and textual feature extraction results for, and other information about, a particular feature may be displayed to a user when the user positions a mouse cursor over the feature in the displayed image. A user may direct display of visual mark for only statistically invalid features and feature backgrounds.
Claims26
A graphical user interface that displays results of a feature extraction process carried out on data collected from a molecular array, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a molecular array image display component that displays an image of the molecular array;
- and
- a feature-extraction-results rendering component that displays feature extraction results concurrently with, and correlated with, display of the molecular array image, the feature extraction results including results of statistical analysis, by the feature extraction process, of data collected from the molecular array and including one or more metrics that indicate quality of the signals extracted from the features of the molecular array.
A method for visually displaying results of a feature extraction process carried out on data collected from a molecular array, the method comprising:
- displaying an image of a molecular array;
- and
- superimposing graphical objects over positions of features on the displayed image of the molecular array, a displayed graphical object representing a result of the feature extraction process for the feature over which the displayed graphical object is superimposed on the displayed image of the molecular array.
