Visual representation of database search results: the RHIMS Plot

Bioinformatics. 2003 May 22;19(8):1037-8. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btg116.

Abstract

Summary: An algorithm and software are described that provide a fast method to produce a novel, function-oriented visualization of the results of a sequence database search. Text mining of sequence annotations allows position specific plots of potential functional similarity to be compared in a simple compact representation.

Availability: The application can be accessed via a web server at http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk. The RHIMS software may be obtained by request to the authors.
