The Seenome

Working in Weigang Qiu's Evolutionary Bioinformatics Lab I have designed, developed, and implemented a genome browser. The Seenome (SEEing-the-geNOME) is designed for real-time annotated display of and interaction with genetic data. A web based application the Seenome is freely available over the internet. The program enables researchers to examine every level of genetic data from contigs to DNA. Researchers may seamlessly transition between different levels of data and positions in a sequence without ever needing to refresh their browser. The Seenome is specifically geared towards comparative genomics. Global and local alignment functionality is included through implementations of both Blast and ClustalW. Additionally, the Seenome dynamically color codes orthologous orfs and links to paralogous ones. The current implementation of the Seenome displays the genetic data of Borrelia Burgdorferi (Lyme Disease).

The Seenome genetic data visualizer aligns DNA base pairs to help researchers understand evolution at molecular level.
The seenome displays every level of genetic data from the chromosome to DNA.
The Seenome can display the 3D shape of proteins associated with genes that are being viewed.
The Seenome allows the user to choose a color scheme of their liking, to personalize their research experience.
The Seenome can load all orthologous orfs in the database at the click of a button.
Protein alignments help us trace diversity over time.
Dynamically load any 3D protein from the Protein Data Bank.
Close up on the protein. Each dot is an atom.
The protein may be translated and rotated.

The application is housed by The Evolutionary Bioinformatics Lab at Hunter College, CUNY. I developed this website to link into the seenome and deliver other genetic research functionality. Samwell Freeman 3
