Hypothesis

How can we effectively visualize integrated genomics data?

Conclusion

FORG3D is an open source software tool that helps visualize and explore integrated genome scale data.

Supporting Evidence

  • FORG3D can visualize interactions between genes and gene products.
  • Users can interact with the network in real-time to explore complex relationships.
  • FORG3D allows for the creation of networks from various types of genomics data.

Takeaway

FORG3D is a computer program that helps scientists see and understand complex data about genes and their interactions in a fun and interactive way.

Methodology

FORG3D uses real-time three-dimensional force-directed graphs to visualize integrated networks of genome scale data.

Limitations

FORG3D does not support many existing file formats for network data and works best with networks containing up to thousands of nodes and edges.
