“…ZUIs have been shown to significantly improve users' ability to find information across multiple layers of data (Helt et al, 2009;Bederson, 2010), and animated navigation transitions have been shown to increase user task performance, even taking into account the time of the transitions themselves (Klein and Bederson, 2005). A custom ZUI framework was created to handle zoom transitions between data visualization modules in ePlant.…”

A big challenge in current systems biology research arises when different types of data must be accessed from separate sources and visualized using separate tools. The high cognitive load required to navigate such a workflow is detrimental to hypothesis generation. Accordingly, there is a need for a robust research platform that incorporates all data and provides integrated search, analysis, and visualization features through a single portal. Here, we present ePlant (http://bar.utoronto.ca/eplant), a visual analytic tool for exploring multiple levels of Arabidopsis thaliana data through a zoomable user interface. ePlant connects to several publicly available web services to download genome, proteome, interactome, transcriptome, and 3D molecular structure data for one or more genes or gene products of interest. Data are displayed with a set of visualization tools that are presented using a conceptual hierarchy from big to small, and many of the tools combine information from more than one data type. We describe the development of ePlant in this article and present several examples illustrating its integrative features for hypothesis generation. We also describe the process of deploying ePlant as an “app” on Araport. Building on readily available web services, the code for ePlant is freely available for any other biological species research

“…Gaucho is a zoomable user interface [54], i.e., the pampas can be panned and zoomed, enabling developers to fully customize different perspectives on the system under construction. A session can include one or more pampas, to provide multiple perspectives on the same system.…”

“…Several tools have adapted the zoomable user interfaces paradigm [1,2] specifically for presentation support [7,11,17]. CounterPoint [7] broke new ground by positioning PowerPoint slides inside a zoomable user interface.…”

“…It was previously studied how authors deal with the two paradigms when preparing for a talk [11,13], and how audiences perceive talks given in the two formats [12], but the effect on the presenter herself has not been investigated, yet. The canvas format should be especially helpful for navigations that deviate from the planned presentation delivery, e.g., in response to a question [2,7]. The presenter can quickly pan-andzoom, thereby creating impromptu overviews and showing the macrostructure of the talk to the audience.…”
