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 of a first pass visualization of a codon substitution matrix generated by SynSub and the refined version. The refined version collapsed table margins and used a color schema to enable differentiation of numerical data across a wide range of values.
