Funding:

This is part of a larger research program on Computational genomics of prokaryotes, funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), Program on Biomolecular Informatics (BMI).

People:

  • PhD student Dinne Bosman (2001-2004)
  • PhD student Evert-Jan Blom (2002-2006)
  • Postdoc Dr. Patrick Ogao (2001-2005)

Collaboration

Project goal

development of bioinformatics tools for automatic and interactive visualization of "virtual cell" components/networks, providing a framework for direct visualization of transcriptome, proteome and metabolome data. For details, see the project summary.

Collaboration

Project goal

To visualize data and data models in different contexts, such as metabolic pathways and gene regulatory networks. The aim is to develop bioinformatics tools for automatic and interactive visualization of "virtual cell" components: the complete picture of metabolic pathways, signalling and information pathways, transport routes, replication machinery, protein (secretion) dynamics, etc.

The GENeVis program developed by Westenberg was elected second-best bioinformatics application during the Application Showcase contest of the national BioRange Meetings in 2007 and 2008.
