Spacewalk is hosted at Aiden Lab. Launch the app by clicking here.
Experience Spacewalk immediately with these demos:
-
Ball & Stick Demo
Chromatin centroids are rendered as balls, each colored according to its genomic location. Sticks (cylinders) connect the balls in the order they appear along the genomic range. -
Point Cloud Demo
The point cloud is rendered as a collection of 3D point clusters, each point cluster corresponds to a specific genomic extent and is colored according to the genomic location of that extent.
Overview
Spacewalk enables scientists to:
- Visualize and explore 3D genomic structures
