Description

Within metagenomics, "Contig Binning" is an important step in the process of reconstructing genomes of species in mixed cultures and environmental samples. We present an interactive visual environment which enables a biologist to statistically analyze the multiple dimensions of data that are typically used during binning, and integrate and compare the results of various binning methods. Our system features a web-based parallel coordinate visualization at the front end and a R server back end for analysis and semi-supervised clustering of contig data.
