Organelle View: A Visualization of Organelle Proteins
and Subcellular Structures

Project Description

Organelle View is a project to create an interactive visualization of subcellular protein localization data.  The bioinformatics tool, Organelle DB, already represents the data as text-form resource.  This project will take those data and transform them into 3dimensional cell model, complete with the cell’s component structures.  Users will be able to query the data to obtain their locations on a visual cell map.  The project will be distributed via the web, but opportunities such as the CAVE, GeoWall, or 3-D printing may enhance the value of this project for a wide audience of specialists and laypersons.
