This project is in progress.
Developing an interest for web development, this project aims to join my interests: software development and genetics. This web application aims to teach undergraduate students principles of genetics with problem solving.
Currently, Inherit Logic contains two modules: Cricket and Mendelpede. Cricket focuses on teaching students about codons and frameshift mutations. Mendelpede focuses on transmission genetics. In both modules, students perform virtual experiments to learn the underlying genetics principles.
Epigenomics is the study of genome-wide distributions of chromatin modifications. Our knowledge of epigenomics has drastically improved with next-generation sequencing (NGS) with techniques like whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and chromatin immunoprecipation sequencing (ChIP-seq). With the large quantities of data being produced, data visualization is an important step for quality control and exploration.
Numerous software programs exist to visualize genomics data; most popular is the genome browser. These existing programs focus on a limited subset of data types such as mRNA-seq and single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
