Abstract

AbstractResults from multivariate molecular biological experiments become increasingly complex. Hence, the challenge of projecting high-dimensional data onto few dimensions for effective data visualization is becoming increasingly important in Systems Biology. Effective data visualization can summarize the activity of many variables over time as well as display relationships between variables. Dynamic interactive visualization tools can provide scientists with ways of visually identifying relationship and patterns, and improve communication of results on the web and in presentations. For this, interactive systems with animation have great potential since they add dimensions to static images limited to two dimensions. Interactivity and animation is particularly useful for showing time-series trends in multi-dimensional data. The Flash-based Motion Chart Google Gadget available through GoogleDocs is a recent advance in multi-dimensional data visualization. The Motion Chart Gadget is a component of the Trendalyzer software, which was developed for web-based animation of statistical results. Here we demonstrate the use of this Gadget to visualize molecular biological data, the phosphoproteomics results published on the Data Center of the Signaling Gateway web-site.
