Visualization and Exploration Tool For Genomics

I like that you can do so many different types things in this program, such as visualize your data visually using heat maps or other tools to find patterns between samples & individuals within groups/strata etc., which is helpful for interpreting results when working with large datasets! The software isn't very intuitive at first glance but if there's someone who has used it before they will be more likely than not able make sense out their own files quickly enough without needing help from anyone else (aside maybe some tips). This tool allows me work directly off my raw genotype calls instead of having them converted into another format by an intermediate step - saving time both during analysis phase itself AND later after processing once all analyses are complete since those steps typically take several hours each individually even though we're talking about thousands / millions of SNPs here.

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Large community support group available via website chat boards
  • Software easy accessible online 24x7 including weekends.
  • Intuitive useability compared wth SAS; Microsoft Excel
Cons
  • Minor Issues
