Abstract
The Bluejay genome browser (Browser for Linear Units in Java™) is a flexible visualization environment for biological sequences, which is capable of producing high-quality graphical outputs (http://bluejay.ucalgary.ca). We have recently added functionalities to Bluejay to realize the true potential of 2D bioinformatics visualization. We describe the three major new functionalities that will be of added value to the user: (i) exploration of large genomes using level-of-detail management; (ii) comparative visualization of multiple genomes; (iii) visualization of microarray data in a genomic context.
