Methods and system for viewing genomic data

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for viewing experimental data is provided. In certain embodiments the method comprises: a) inputting genomic array data and cytogenetic data into a computer memory; and b) producing a graphical user interface comprising: i) a chromosomal map of the genomic array data comprising a first positional indicator that indicates a position on the chromosomal map; and ii) a cytogenetic map of the cytogenetic data comprising a second positional indicator that indicates a position on the cytogenetic map.

         22 . A kit comprising:
 a) a computer-readable storage medium comprising programming for producing a graphical user interface comprising:
 i) a chromosomal map of genomic array data comprising a first positional indicator that indicates a position on said chromosomal map; and 
 ii) a cytogenetic map of said cytogenetic data comprising a second positional indicator that indicates a position on said cytogenetic map; 
 wherein said first and second positional indicators are dynamically linked; and 
   b) a reference manual for using said programming.   
     
     
         23 . The kit of  claim 22 , further comprising instructions for installing said programming on a computer. 
     
     
         24 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said computer readable storage medium further comprises instructions for inputting said genomic array data and said cytogenetic data into a computer memory. 
     
     
         25 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said first and second positional indicator identify corresponding positions on said chromosomal map and said cytogenetic map, respectively. 
     
     
         26 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein movement of said first positional indicator to a second position on said chromosomal map results in movement of said second positional indicator to a corresponding position on said cytogenetic map. 
     
     
         27 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein movement of said second positional indicator to a second position on said cytogenetic map results in movement of said first positional indicator to a corresponding position on said chromosomal map. 
     
     
         28 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said genomic array data is comparative genome hybridization data. 
     
     
         29 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said cytogenetic map is a color image of a fluorescently-labeled chromosome. 
     
     
         30 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said first and second positional indicators are arrows. 
     
     
         31 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said first and second positional indicators are lines. 
     
     
         32 . The kit of  claim 22 , wherein said computer-readable storage medium is present on a computer.
