The need for novel methods of visualizing microarray data is growing. New perspectives are beneficial to finding patterns in expression data. The Bluejay genome browser provides an integrative way of visualizing gene expression datasets in a genomic context. We have now developed the functionality to display multiple microarray datasets simultaneously in Bluejay, in order to provide researchers with a comprehensive view of their datasets linked to a graphical representation of gene function. This will enable biologists to obtain valuable insights on expression patterns, by allowing them to analyze the expression values in relation to the gene locations as well as to compare expression profiles of related genomes or of different experiments for the same genome.
对可视化微阵列数据的新方法的需求正在不断增长。新的视角有助于在表达数据中发现模式。Bluejay基因组浏览器提供了一种在基因组背景下可视化基因表达数据集的综合方式。我们现在已经开发出在Bluejay中同时显示多个微阵列数据集的功能，以便为研究人员提供与其数据集相关的全面视图，该视图与基因功能的图形表示相关联。这将使生物学家能够通过允许他们分析与基因位置相关的表达值，以及比较相关基因组或同一基因组的不同实验的表达谱，从而获得关于表达模式的有价值的见解。
