3D visualization method for whole genome alignment

Abstract

Many biologists check and analyze the result of alignment directly for various purpose. The more we get the genome data easily, the more alignment result that needed to be analyzed increase. The new proposed visualization model for alignment sequence is designed to reveal the base sequence of alignment result, which is 3d random walk plot model, developed as Web-GL based Web system. Using this model, we can represent the contents of alignment sequence directly that it couldn't be displayed by previous visualization model, and identify diametrically different alignment sequences although their alignment score are much similar to each other. As a result, we can intuitively express the information of alignment analysis in various angle that it cannot be covered by previous alignment visualization model.
