Integrating a haplotype analysis visualization into Galaxy

Supervisor: Mehmet Tekman, Anup Kumar, Joachim Wolff For degree: Project Status: In progress (assigned to @veild) Keywords: Haplotypes, HaploForge, Linkage, Javascript

Global Biological/Research context

The study of haplotypes is relevant to pedigree analysis, which looks for mutations inherited from founders that manifest only after many generations due to the semi-random/coalescent nature of inheritance. This project will be wrapping an existing haplotype visualization tool into Galaxy, an open source web-based bioinformatic analysis environment, in order to reach a greater number of users. Applicants must know basic Javascript and HTML/XML.

Project context

This would complement rare disease and pedigree analysis research.

Objectives of the project

Integrate the existing HaploForge javascript utility to be used within Galaxy.
