The past years have shown an enormous advancement in sequencing and array-based
technologies, producing supplementary or alternative views of the genome stored
in various formats and databases. Their sheer volume and different data scope
pose a challenge to jointly visualize and integrate diverse data types. We
present AmalgamScope a new interactive software tool focusing on assisting
scientists with the annotation of the human genome and particularly the
integration of the annotation files from multiple data types, using gene
identifiers and genomic coordinates. Supported platforms include next-generation
sequencing and microarray technologies. The available features of AmalgamScope
range from the annotation of diverse data types across the human genome to
integration of the data based on the annotational information and visualization
of the merged files within chromosomal regions or the whole genome. Additionally,
users can define custom transcriptome library files for any species and use the
file exchanging distant server options of the tool.
