ZMap – Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
See on Scoop.it – Virology and Bioinformatics from Virology.ca
ZMap is a genome browser written in C with the aim of providing fast access to high volume data. Data may be requested from a variety of disparate sources in parallel and cached locally allowing new tracks to be loaded or the view of current data adjusted without delay. Multiple views of the data may be presented and tracks configured for different levels of detail. ZMap interfaces seamlessly to the Seqtools package and forms part of the Otterlace genome annotation system used by the HAVANA group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
ZMap may also be used as a standalone browser taking data either from external soruces or from simple GFF files held locally.
