LocusVu is a novel Java based software tool that accepts a list of genomic loci (positions on the chromosome) as input and automates fetching of related information (cytogenetic band, gene name, OMIM data etc.) from public databases such as the UCSC genome browser database. It then enables multiple workflows on the retrieved results, like comparing multiple datasets (comparative genomics), viewing neighboring genes for a loci from within the tool itself, or graphically representing these results in bar / pie charts. LocusVu has a simple easy-to-use GUI on the frontend which enables intuitive user interaction with the underlying logic. ...

...Users can combine tools in automatic analysis workflows, which can be shared. Chipster's interactive visualizations allow users to select datapoints and create new gene lists. For NGS data Chipster contains a built-in genome browser, which highlights SNPs and automatically indexes BAM files and calculates coverage. Chipster’s ability to provide a biologist-friendly access to a powerful analysis platform is technically based on a desktop application user interface, a flexible distributed architecture, and the ability to integrate many types of analysis tools (command line, R/Bioconductor, Java, Web Services etc). ...
