Genographics (disambiguation)

Genographics may refer to a number of things:

In computer applications

*'Genographics'- PC-GenoGraphics is a visual database/query facility designed for reasoning with genomic data. Data are represented to reflect variously accurate notions of the location of their sites, etc., along the length of the genome. Sequence data are efficiently stored and queried via a rather versatile language so that entire sequences of organisms will be treatable as they emerge. Other classes of information, such as function descriptions, are stored in a relational form, and joint queries relating these to sequence properties are supported. All queries result in visual responses that indicate locations along the genome. The results of queries can themselves be promoted to be queryable objects against which further queries can be launched. R. Hagstrom, R. Overbeek, and M. Price, ``Users Guide and Tutorial for PC-GenoGraphics, Version 1," ANL-92/45 (December 1992).

*'Genographics'- GenoGraphics is a generic utility for constructing and querying one-dimensional linear plots. The outgrowth of a request from Dr. Cassandra Smith for a tool to facilitate her genome mapping research, GenoGraphics' development has benefited from a continued collaboration with her. Written in Sun Microsystems' Open Windows environment and BTOL toolkit developed at Argonne, GenoGraphics provides an interactive, intuitive, graphical interface. Its features include viewing multiple maps simultaneously, zooming, and querying by mouse clicking. By expediting plot generation, GenoGraphics gives the scientist more time to analyze data and a novel means for deducing conclusions. R. Hagstrom, G. S. Michaels, R. Overbeek, M. Price, R. Taylor, K. Yoshida, and D. Zawada, ``BGenoGraphics for OpenWindows," ANL-92/11 (April 1992).

*'Genographics'- Another prior art approach to producing hard color copies from computer-based graphics has been developed by General Electric Company and is called the Genographics System. This system uses a substantially higher number of scan lines in order to improve the resolution of the copies. Although effective, this system is extremely expensive, which substantially reduces the applications where the system can be cost justified.

In genetic research

*'Genographics'- short form for the The Genographic Project [ [http://proactiveliving.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html Proactive Living: May 2005 ] ]
*'Genographics'- is Genetic genealogy gone global. [ [http://www.nature.com/embor/journal/v7/n11/full/7400843.html Genetic genealogy goes global. Although useful in investigating ancestry, the application of genetics to traditional genealogy could be abused ] ]

Other

*'Genographics'- Common usage for Genographics is not clear.
