SigTools: exploratory visualization for genomic signals

Shohre Masoumi, Maxwell W. Libbrecht, Kay C. Wiese

Abstract: With the advancement of sequencing technologies, genomic data sets are constantly being expanded by high volumes of different data types. One recently introduced data type in genomic science is genomic signals, which are usually short-read coverage measurements over the genome. To understand and evaluate the results of such studies, one needs to understand and analyze the characteristics of the input data.
