AmalgamScope: Merging Annotations Data across the Human Genome

Figure 2

Screenshots of Amalgam outlining the key features of the application. The “Translator” window (a) awaits for input files allowing users to upload text annotation or data files. When merging is complete, the output files can be downloaded by the “Integrator” tab page (b). The output merged files can be displayed in the two browsing windows. Particularly, genomic features, such as gene names and chromosomal positions, are extracted from the text files and are displayed in the “RegionBrowser” tab page (c). For each identified region, gene related information can be displayed from well-known public databases. In the “Midnight Viewer” tab page (d), the merged data are displayed on chromosomal or genome maps.
