Integrated functional visualization of eukaryotic genomes.

BACKGROUND: Increasing amounts of data from large scale whole genome analysis efforts demands convenient tools for manipulation, visualization and investigation. Whole genome plots offer an intuitive window to the analysis. We describe two applications that enable users to easily plot and explore whole genome data from their own or other researchers' experiments. RESULTS: STRIPE and GFFtool (General Feature Format Tool) are softwares designed to support integration, visualization and exploration of whole genome data from eukaryotic genomes. STRIPE, in addition to providing a highly customizable and interactive data plot, provides access to numerous well-selected databases with updated information on all genes of a genome. GFFtool provides a user-friendly solution to integrating experimental data with the genomic information available in public databases. They also obviate the need for users to maintain large annotation resources, as they link to well-known resources using standard gene and protein identifiers. CONCLUSION: The programs provide the user with broad genomic overviews of data distribution, fast access to data of interest, and the ability to navigate speedily from one resource to another, and gain a better understanding of result of whole genome analysis experiments.

Impairment in auditory and visual function follows perinatal viral infection in the rat.

Acoustic startle reflexes are elicited by intense tone bursts but inhibited if weak bursts precede reflex elicitation. Rats were infected by intracerebral inoculation with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) at birth. Compared to control animals, infected animals had higher elicitation and inhibition thresholds and showed recruitment at intense stimulus levels. Histopathology revealed both cochlear and retinal degeneration. Like some infectious agents in humans, perinatal exposure to LCMV in the rat yields a severe polysensory neuropathy.
