Abstract
A system for providing an interactive interface for biological sequence information is described that includes a GUI manager to manage and display graphical elements, each associated with a user selection of one or more biological sequences, in the panes of a graphical user interface, where the one or more biological sequences includes a chromosome sequence, and one or more biological sequence tools that provide one or more tools to process information based upon a user selection of at least one of the graphical elements

A method for overlaying gene- or protein-related data on chromosome maps, said method comprising the steps of:
- importing arbitrary gene- or protein-related data having identifiers for determining genetic loci of genes to which said arbitrary gene-related data are associated;
- reading the identifiers;
- matching the identifiers with predefined identifiers on at least one of the chromosome maps;
- and displaying the arbitrary gene- or protein related data adjacent positions on the at least one chromosome map where the genes associated with the respective arbitrary gene- or protein-related data are located, wherein said importing, reading, matching and displaying are all automated steps.
A system for displaying visualizations of gene-related data on chromosomal graphic schemes, said system comprising:
- means for, automatically generating chromosome maps;
- means for automatically inputting gene- or protein-related data;
- means for automatically reading identifiers associating gene- or protein-related data with genes which said gene- or protein-related data are associated with;
- means for automatically matching said identifiers with locations on at least one chromosome map on which said genes are located;
- means for automatically ordering said gene- or protein-related data to correspond to respective locations of said associated genes on said at least one chromosome map;
- and means for automatically displaying said gene- or protein-related data relative to the locations of the genes associated with said gene- or protein-related data, respectively.
