Our widgets for functional genomics use Orange, a data mining and machine learning suite. Orange can be accessed through scripting in Python, or by visual programming in Orange Canvas.

In functional genomics, we have also designed a web-based tool for mutant data analysis called GenePath (also featured in Science's NetWatch).

Schema

The following is a snapshot of the schema designed and used for the analysis of Dictyostelium development data.
Clicking on a widget icon in the schema displays a snapshot of the widget during analysis.

Clustering data Expression profiles of clustered data

The Orange Canvas interface that allows the design of schemas is also shown. The four widgets described  in the paper are registered in the "Genomics" tab: "Expression Profiles", "Heat Map", "GO Term Finder" and "Genome Map." The user selects an icon from the tab, places it on canvas and connects it with other widgets already on canvas.
