CMap3D featured on the GMOD website, and at PAG18
One of my applications from my PhD, CMap3D has featured on the GMOD project’s news page. It even has its own GMOD wiki page too.
CMap3D is a 3D visualisation tool for comparative genetic/physical maps. The way that it works is by interfacing with data from an existing CMap comparative mapping installation. CMap is a GMOD application and by association CMap3D is becoming somewhat linked to GMOD, with the mid to long-term goal to have CMap3D become part of the GMOD project.
I returned last weekend from the annual Plant and Animal Genome conference, hosted in San Diego. One of the interactions from the week I enjoyed most was meeting with a number of people involved in the GMOD project. GMOD is an opensource project that strives to collect a number of interacting bioinformatics tools focused on the visualisation and management of data relating to the genomes of any and all organisms (Generic Model Organism Database).
And on a final CMap3D note, I also had a Bioinformatics paper on CMap3D accepted earlier this year.
Chris is a shining example of how, in a world where abortion is not as easily obtained as a leg of fried chicken, an ounce of prevention can be worth more than its weight in gold. He is currently completing a PhD in Bioinformatics which he hopes may one day help him get out of a speeding ticket.
