New Tools Discussed at Visualization Workshop

GeneLab hosted a two-day workshop with all of its Visualization Working Group (VWG) members. During the workshop, members presented their tool capabilities, current development status, and future development of visualization capabilities for GeneLab. This workshop provided space for communication between VWG members and allowed hands-on demos of all tools and development on how to fully integrate all visualization components for GeneLab’s next phase of development. The workshop was held April 22-23, 2019 in Cambridge, MA.

Day 1: Basic Visualization

  • Presentations from each group
  • Working session to review data formats and integration requirements

Day 2: Advanced Visualization

  • Presentations from each group
  • Working session to review API and notebook integration between GenePattern/Cyverse

On the second day, members also attended a GeneLab VWG/Broad Institute meet-up. GeneLab’s VWG presented the current visualizations in development and Broad members presented several tools and platforms that were relevant to the GeneLab Visualization portal. In addition, Broad is interested in potentially collaborating with GeneLab.
