Description
Summary:The easiest way to gain a quick overall understanding of genomic data is with a visual display that allows the user to view information about an entire genome or chromosome at once. We have constructed GenomePlot, a Perl/Tk script with a series of modules that allow us to display many types of information simultaneously. Menu options allow the user to zoom to the desired view of the data and to print or save the image to a file to produce publication quality illustrations. Availability: The program is available on request. A license is required for commercial use. Contact: dsmith@agencourt.com. * To whom correspondence should be addressed.
