Dear group, I am happy that I am slowly finding pyhonian projects related to my research area.
Problem: 1. I have a database of human gene coordinates on chromosomes. 2. I have gene expression data from my lab concerning the genes I mentioned above. 3. I want to visualize expression data laid on chromosomes. Eg. Coordinates: Chr Gene From To Exon 1 x 100 120 exon:1 1 x 200 250 exon:2 1 x 350 450 exon:3 Expression data: IDent sample Chr From To Expression value xxx_at lung 1 110 120 100.35 x_s_at heart 1 225 250 124.35 x_a_at eye 1 375 400 146.35 What I want: I want to have a simpler window, that would connect to my database. I want to give a gene, this python/tk interfacce or what ever would query the database draw a graph of gene according the exons and plot the values. -------_______----------_______------- -- : exon __: regions that are not exons, introns. My questions to Tutor/BioPython forums: 1. What should I decide to work on a. Py/Tk framework b. python imaging libraries etc. 2. I do not want to impress any one with this work, except that it should help me understand the relationships as the number game in the tables above is highly confusing. So, a working version that accurately plots the expression values for as many samples I have 3. Are there any available modules to jump-start? or do I have to create some from scratch. which would be a problem because I am between novice to mediocral level of python programing. 4. Any ideas/suggestions/pointers are highly appreciated. thanks Sri __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
