This page should be treated like a whiteboard - feel free to note down any ideas

Visualisation

We have many excellent visualisation tools in the consortium - Mary's orthology graphs (add link), John's new graph explore (link to demo). There are also tools outside the consortium (eg QuickGO, CytoScape) that have popular visualisation paradigms. We should discuss the technical implementations of all these, and how better to share and reuse software and libraries
