Venn Diagram Viewer

Venn diagrams present a very popular method to display list comparisons. [Jvenn] is an interactive Venn diagram viewer written in JavaScript. The objective of this project would be to use the code base of Jvenn to make it compatible with BioJS2.0.

Pedigree Chart Visualization

A pedigree chart is a simple and easy to read diagram showing the occurrence and appearance or phenotypes of a particular gene in an organism and its ancestors. Pedigrees use a standardized set of symbols:

  • squares: males
  • circles: females
  • diamonds: the sex of the person is unknown
  • filled-in (darker) symbol: someone with the phenotype in question
  • shaded or half-filled symbol: heterozygotes
  • horizontal and a vertical line: connects parents to their offspring
  • ....

Pedigree chart

Sub-cellular localization in a cell

Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryota form the three domains of life. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. The cells of archaea and bacteria in contrast are formed by a single compartment that is surrounded by the plasma membrane (Gram-negative bacteria have an additional outer membrane). The objective of this project is to visualize biological cells and highlight by a user selected sub-cellular compartments in a way that they stand out from the un-selected ones.

Pedigree chart

Force directed network (spring algorithm)

The objective of this project is to visualize a network (large networks of >2000 nodes) in a way that the distance of a node from the rest of the network is determined by the number of nodes it is connected to => the more neighbors a node has the larger is its distance from the network. The component must allow zooming in/out, selection by the number of neighbors, coloring by various thresholds and other graph-related features.

Graph

HSSP curve

The HHSP curve at a threshold of interest (HSSP value=0 is default) must be visualized in a 2D graph. Additionally, alignments of protein sequences, provided by the user, must be plotted on the graph.
