Apr 7, 2016 – Conference Call

Development server setup

Lead: Seth
Development server: It’s all set up by haven’t played with it yet
Data modelSeth wants to figure this out on his own, but Brian encourages him to ask questions
Instrumentation: Not yet done

Genome summary

Lead: Kai and Zan

Current problem

  • Significant slow down around 100 rows

Suggestions

  • Rendering the graph in Canvas instead of SVG because it can scale up to 500 (genomes) x 500 (lists)
  • To meet the requirement of being able to download the image in SVG:
    • Transition between Canvas and SVG depending on the scale
    • UI with Canvas but with ability to download SVG (probably the better option)
  • Interaction design and user interface can improve by adding filters
– Working on a higher data density to show large graph
ACTION: BRIAN will send an example from Jill to Kai
ACTION: SHUFEI/BRIAN finds a published dataset and give them a new dump

3 areas of improvement

  1. Maintain the chart, work on elements within the chart, such as color, size, etc.
  2. Maintain the chart, work on elements outside of the chart, such as filtering tools
  3. Restructure the whole visualization.
They asked a number of questions about the significance of the numbers and how to interpret them in order to design visualizations.

Capturing feedback

  • Want to have the ability to show to the scientists and how they are using the tool
  • Be able to sit with them
  • Figure out a live app testing

ACTION: EMILY will schedule an onsite ethnographical studies
