ChromoViz: multimodal visualization of gene expression data onto chromosomes using scalable vector graphics.

SUMMARY: ChromoViz is an R package for the visualization of microarray gene expression data, cross-species and cross-platform comparisons, as well as non-expression genomic data obtained from public databases onto chromosomes. Chromosomal visualization format is proposed for the clear decoupling of the data layer from the procedure layer and the combined visualization of genomic data from heterogeneous data sources. Visualization with Javascript-enabled scalable vector graphics enables interactive visualization and navigation of data objects on the Web. AVAILABILITY: http://www.snubi.org/software/ChromoViz/
