Web-based visualization of clinical multi-omic data in networks

A new browser software puts clinical data into the context of biological networks.

With the first version of VMOD (Visualization of Multiomics Data), Manuel O. Harke completes his bachelor thesis. The web-based software is suitable for clinical use because all data is processed locally. Because modern web browsers with JavaScript interpreters are integrated as standard in current operating systems, it is not necessary to install additional software. The first version of the software, which is implemented in a server/client architecture, first loads gene expression data and displays them in the context of known KEGG maps. The modular implementation allows an extension to further data sets, implementation of export functions for interoperability with similar programs as well as improved layout functions.
