What is new (October 01 2003):
Function "Locus Zoomer" did not work properly when both loci belong to
the same chromosome. It was fixed in the current version.
A single-file binary executable for the Windows platform is available:
GenomePixelizer_October_01_2003.exe
the program can be distributed to Windows machines that do not have Tcl/Tk installed.
To use it you need to download the full version of GenomePixelizer and Windows "exe" file,
uncompress "GenoPixRelease_October_01_2003.tar.gz" using WinZip or other program,
place "exe" file into "GenoPixRelease_October_01_2003" directory and run it by double-click.
(binary "exe" file was generated by "FreeWrap" program
http://freewrap.sourceforge.net)
What is new (June 24 2003):
If user provides "Annotation File" (see "What is new" - May 05 2003) then canvas
is searchable by keywords from annotation. In the case of successful search
all genes containing particular keyword (kinase, for example) will be
painted into color defined in "Canvas Editor" window for graphical labels.
Selected genes can be painted back to original color scheme by clicking on
"Update (Color Reset)" button on "Canvas Manipulator" window.
What is new (May 05 2003):
Mouse click event displays gene annotation in the "Annotation Window" if
the corresponding tab-delimited file with gene description is defined in
the Run_Setup file (option #19). For details check the example
RunSetup_Arab_chr_5_vs_4.txt
What is new (April 03 2003):
Updated Arabidopsis genome (TIGR version of January 2003). New "Canvas Manipulator"
procedure helps to finish canvas layout. Re-written similarity line-plot procedure.
Improved color scheme. "Scripts" directory contains BLAST parser to generate Matrix
file automatically based on BLAST results.
What is new (February 15 2002):
New "Matrix Validator" and "Locus Zoomer" procedures,
works much faster than in previous distribution.
What is new (January 07 2002):
1. Tcl/Tk and Perl scripts to parse results of Fasta or Blast searches in the "Scripts" directory.
Tcl/Tk script to transform Phylip/ClustalW distance matrix file into "three column" matrix
file in a "proper" GenomePixelizer format. Click here
to find out how to use these scripts and generate matrix file using results of Fasta or Blast searches.
2. Revised Arabidopsis distance matrix file.
What is new (November 07 2001): "Locus Zoomer" procedure;
GenomePixelizer allows to zoom in semi-automatic mode into regions of interest and
generate sub-projects by extracting data from whole dataset.
Click here to view an example.
"Gene Painter" procedure; GenomePixelizer allows to paint different set
of genes in different colors
in batch mode dynamically, without re-running the project.
"Matrix Color Tuner" procedure; GenomePixelizer allows to assign color for "similarity/identity"
lines based on distance matrix file data dynamically, without changing the source of
input file.
What is new (August 21 2001): "Horizontal size of gene" is variable,
You may run GenomePixelizer in standard (no difference from previous version) or
extended mode. (see last line of
GenPix_RunSetup file).
An optional "Matrix Validator" procedure, which allows you to check the
proper setup of a matrix file.
What is new (July 27 2001): "Canvas Editor", you may add text and
graphical labels to images generated by GenomePixelizer or the Alignment Viewer;
minor bug fixes, almost all parameters are variables now.
(see GenPix_RunSetup file).
What is new (July 01 2001): "Save as PostScript" functionality, minor bug fixes,
improved color scheme, chromosome color is variable, minor changes in documentation.
