The Research on Synthesized Visualization Metadata Model of Molecular Structure and Gene Sequence

Abstract:

With the rise and rapid development of the systems biology, in order to explore the relationship between different levels of Bioinformatics relevance, the need of integrated visualization of biological scientific computing data at different levels is increasingly urgent. This paper propses a molecular structure and genome sequence synthesized visualization metadata model, and then implements the integration management of the visualization data of molecular structure and genome sequence. This method can effectively support the development of visualization capabilities of molecular structure and gene sequence. Based on the XML technology, by deep researching in the field of visualization data format and applying this synthesized visualization metadata model, this paper designs and introduces the conversion method for visualization data of molecular structure and genome sequence. Ultimately, based on this synthesized visualization metadata model, a synthesized visualization prototype system for molecular structure and gene sequence (VMG) has been developed.
