MaGnET: Malaria Genome Exploration Tool.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: The Malaria Genome Exploration Tool (MaGnET) is a software tool enabling intuitive 'exploration-style' visualization of functional genomics data relating to the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. MaGnET provides innovative integrated graphic displays for different datasets, including genomic location of genes, mRNA expression data, protein-protein interactions and more. Any selection of genes to explore made by the user is easily carried over between the different viewers for different datasets, and can be changed interactively at any point (without returning to a search). AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Free online use (Java Web Start) or download (Java application archive and MySQL database; requires local MySQL installation) at http//malariagenomeexplorer.org CONTACT joanna.sharman@ed.ac.uk or dgerloff@ffame.org SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
