Computer-aided visualization of expression comparison
Innovative systems and methods for visualizing information collected from analyzing samples are provided. The samples may include nucleic acids, proteins, or other polymers. Gene expression level as determined from analysis of a nucleic acid sample is one possible analysis result that may be visualized. In one embodiment, a computer system may display the expression levels of multiple genes simultaneously in a way that facilitates user identification of genes whose expression is significant to a characteristic such as disease or resistance to disease. Additionally, the computer system may facilitate display of further information about relevant genes once they are identified.

49 . A method for analyzing expression level information, the method comprising:
displaying a first axis indicative of a value of a first expression level for a first expressed sequence;
displaying a first mark at a first position, the first position associated with a first coordinate related to the first axis in accordance with the first expression level of the first expressed sequence;
generating a sound associated with the first mark, the sound indicative of a second expression level for the first expressed sequence.
50 . A method for analyzing expression level information, the method comprising:
displaying a first axis indicative of a value of a first expression level for a first expressed sequence;
displaying a first mark at a first position, the first position associated with a first coordinate related to the first axis in accordance with the first expression level of the first expressed sequence;
generating a sound associated with the first mark, the sound indicative of a second expression level for the first expressed sequence;
receiving an input of selection of the first mark; and
in response to the input, displaying information associated with the first expressed sequence.
