FISH Oracle 2
FISH Oracle 2 is a web-based software tool for the integrative analysis of cancer genomics data. It stores different kinds of downstream processed data from multiple samples in a single database. A powerful search interface allows to dynamically filter the data to be displayed with respect to different criteria. The combination of AJAX technology and a fast visualization engine facilitates a highly dynamic visualization for large amounts of data. FISH Oracle 2 is able to simultaneously display different data sets, thus simplifying their comparison. Filter and display options can be changed on the fly. High quality image export enables the life scientist to easily communicate the results, e.g. in presentations or publications. A comprehensive data administration assures to keep track of the data stored in the database.
Availability
Built on Java, the Google Web Toolkit and the AnnotationSketch component from GenomeTools (and Java bindings).
