Genomic epidemiology uses graph structures to visualize transmission networks. A new JavaScript tool allows interactive visualization and annotation of these transmission graphs, enhancing data analysis.
Area of Science:
- Genomic epidemiology
- Bioinformatics
- Data visualization
Background:
- Graph structures are crucial for visualizing transmission networks derived from genomic epidemiological analyses.
- Existing tools lack interactive capabilities for exploring these complex transmission graphs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an interactive, browser-based tool for visualizing transmission networks.
- To enable users to load and interact with genomic epidemiological data.
Main Methods:
- Development of a JavaScript-based, browser-accessible tool.
- Implementation of features for loading transmission graphs and associated metadata.
- Functionality for interactive annotation and filtering of network nodes and edges.
Main Results:
- A functional tool, Transmission Graph Visualizer (TGV), has been created.
- The tool facilitates interactive exploration of transmission networks with metadata.
- Users can dynamically annotate and filter network components.
Conclusions:
- The developed tool addresses the need for interactive visualization in genomic epidemiology.
- It enhances the analysis and interpretation of transmission networks.
- The tool is publicly available for use and further development.
