Challenges in Genomics Data Visualization
Friday, April 12
Genomics, like many fields, is generating data at an ever increasing rate with the promise to enable personalized medicine, improve agriculture, and advance fundamental research. Data visualization is key component of the scientific process and often the bottleneck in effective interpretation of analysis results. We’ll begin with a broad introduction to Genomics and then describe several visualization challenges. We categorize the challenges in three domains: those arising purely from the size of the data, those requiring intricate interactivity, and those requiring high resolution 3D rendering. The goal of the talk is to provide a broad overview of visualization challenges in the field of Genomics.
Paul Scheid is GenCore Manager at the NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology. Mr. Scheid has been the Manager of GenCore since 2009 and has extensive experience in DNA genomic sequencing methods and lab management. He has overseen experimental design efforts in several large-scale genomicsconsortia, and is currently responsible for the P. vivax Re-sequencing Project at the Center for the Study of Complex Malaria in India. Mr. Scheid presents at next-generation sequencing (NGS) conferences and coordinates NYU-HiTS, a seminar series that features NGS applications and analyses.
