Biovr: A Platform For Virtual Reality Assisted Biological Data Integration And Visualization, Jimmy F. Zhang, Alex R. Paciorkowski, Paul A. Craig, Feng Cui

As massively parallel sequencing has emerged as a leading technology in genomics, resulting in a significant increase in data volume, direct visualization of SNVs together with associated protein sequences/structures in a new user interface (UI) would be a more effective way to assess their potential effects on protein function. Results: We have developed BioVR, an easy-to-use interactive, virtual reality (VR)-assisted platform for integrated visual analysis of DNA/RNA/protein sequences …
