Abstract

A system is described for cruising the sea of information in the world of human genome. The system named GenomeCruiser combines at any start-up personal data with the data from GDB. Therefore, it is a convenient laboratory notebook for the user to simultaneously access his/her experimental data and the most up-to-date public data. GenomeCruiser is also equipped with a friendly and powerful interactive user interface.
