“…Bioinformatics tools generate huge amount of data that can overwhelm users and visualizing the data is challenging. Therefore, Mannapperuma et al [7] investigated the problem of visualizing the generated data and provided recommendations to improve the usability of data visualization. Moreover, Machado et al [8] studied the behavior and the preferences in selecting bioinformatics resources for teaching and learning.…”

<p>Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing is the process of locating the sequence of the main chemical bases in the DNA. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technique. The NGS technique advanced the biological science in analyzing human DNA due to its scalability, high throughput, and speed. Analyzing human DNA is crucial to determine the ability of a person to develop certain diseases and his ability to respond to certain medications. ChIP-sequencing is a method that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with NGS sequencing to analyze protein interactions with DNA to identify binding sites. Many online web tools have been developed to conduct ChIP-Seq data analysis to either discover or find motifs, i.e., patterns of binding sites. Since these ChIP-Seq web tools need to be used by clinical practitioners, they must comply to the web-related usability tasks including effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction to enhance the user experience (UX). To that end, we have conducted an empirical study to understand their UX design. Specifically, we have evaluated the usability of 8 widely used ChIP-Seq web tools against 6 known usability quality metrics. Our study shows that the design of the studied ChIP-Seq web tools does not follow the UX design principles.</p>

“…The presentation layer directly interacts and communicates with end users. We developed critical functionalities of GenIE-Sys themes using an iterative design process comprising usability evaluation methods, including user-based surveys and observations (14).To negate the requirement of user login we deploy a fingerprint system developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation that has better accuracy than session IDs or IP addresses (15) (16). However, we will also make use of cookies as an alternative approach to uniquely identifying users as the use of such fingerprint methods is being phased out .…”

There are an ever-increasing number of genomes being sequenced, many of which have associated RNA sequencing and other genomics data. The availability of user-friendly web-accessible mining tools ensures that these data repositories provide maximum benefit to the community. However, there are relatively few options available for setting up such standalone frameworks. We developed the Genome Integrative Explorer System (GenIE-Sys) to set up web resources to enable search, visualization and exploration of genomics data typically generated by a genome project.
