Interactive 3D gene expression viewer

Abstract

Gene expression can be visualized in three dimensions using volume data generated through confocal microscopy. The Interactive Gene Expression viewer provides a way to view spatial relationships between different gene expression patterns and anatomic features. Web based 3D enabled technologies such as the Interactive Gene Expression viewer help to facilitate the analysis of 3D gene expression patterns and the creation of bioinformatics databases that can use this data to predict gene interaction and function.
