Here is the prototype of the integrated Genome summary
- http://ec2-52-39-239-146.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000/genome_summaries/17-Org12_by_Lists12#color=nightrider&cellsize=14
- Rough, still have some issues to work out.
TSV generator (Javascript code on the front end) has been optimized
- Reduced the number of loops in the code.
- More detailed description in the code commit.
- A lot of the code changes take place GenomeSummaryDataManager.js, such as th createMatrix function.
- Speed improvement
- Old code: 50×50 to take 5 second 100×100 about 12 second
- New code: 100×100 takes only 50ms…almost instantaneous!
- More details can be found here: http://studio.stamen.com/metag/blog/2016/05/26/genome-summary-integration/
- They told us to definitely pull the new TSV generator code to use
- When clicking on the cell, it takes you to the page.
- Wasn’t quite working when they were demonstrating this feature.
Visualization improvement
- You can now use different color scheme by changing the URL. It will be drop down in the future.
- available options are nightrider, lightrider, classic.
- example: color=lightrider
- You can also change the cell size in the URL.
- example: cellsize=4
- label length is too long, how to deal with that?
- That’s a problem we have to deal with so would be interested in their solution.
User feedback
- I asked them when they will conduct user feedback:
- They were thinking about getting feedback from users after you return
- They wanted to wait until they have integrated the new TSV generator code so that user can experience the improved performance.
- They planned to first reach out to Rose and then the other folks.
- I told them to reach out to the users sooner
- They don’t need to wait until you come back or after the integration.
- They should show this new design and start getting user feedback.
- What do you think?
I will work with Greg on integrating his code into our system.
Emily wanted to talk about the budget and the direction of the project in the next couple weeks, but I told her that she will need to talk to you about that.
