Junhyong Kim will lead a discussion on data visualization.
Discussion Topics
Are there more efficient ways of displaying phylogenetic information than the commonly used "phylogram"?
Is it possible to develop an integrated system for database management, phylogenetic analysis, and data visualization that can be automated in such a way that a non-expert can extract useful phylogenetic information on demand? And if so, is this our goal?
