The Sequence Surveyor system was presented at InfoVis2011 in Providence. Below, you will find links to resources for the Sequence Surveyor genomics tool, a visualization tool for the analysis of whole genome alignment data, and TextDNA, a related tool for the exploration of linguistics data. Both tools run on the Adobe AIR platform and read data from SQLite database files. Each tool is accompanied by a sample dataset and brief instructions on the basic use of the tool. The TextDNA sample data is drawn from the Google N-Grams datasets and is a recommended starting point for understanding the general functions of either tool.
