Data visualization

One of the major difficulties with genomic data is creating visual representations that enable people to quickly and easily identify patterns. This is a combination of balancing:

• how much data to show
• the detail of the data
• the arrangement of the data
• the coloration of the data

Here are examples visualization of a codon substitution matrix generated by SynSub and the refined version. One uses the traditional rainbow of colors, one bases values off of red, yellow and blue.
