Before other components of the gap4 package are described, a brief introduction to the phrapview program is warranted. Phrapview is distributed along with the phrap assembly engine and is a graphical viewer for phrap assemblies. It is intended to... 

The PIRSF reports connect to several graphical viewers, including (i) DAG browser, which displays the PIRSF family hierarchy with Pfam domain superfamilies and protein membership in a network structure (Fig. 2A) (ii) taxonomy tree browser, which displays the taxonomy distribution of all family members and the... 

At the time of this review, a new graphic user interface was under development. Jaguar can also be purchased as part of the Titan program, which combines Jaguar with the Spartan graphic interface. An orbital viewer for Jaguar is available from Serena Software. 

Prepare the graphics for your Results section first. Remember that, in general, figures are easier for viewers to read than tables. Add titles, labels, and captions to your figures to focus your viewers attention on the important points. 

Move 1 (Interpret or Explain Results) is often integrated into the poster Results section, thereby becoming a combined Results and Discussion (R D) section. An example of a combined R D section is shown in hgure 9.1. In such posters, interpretative remarks (Discussion) are included right along with the graphics (Results). In this way, space is conserved, and viewers can read and interpret the data simultaneously (usually easier than looking back and forth between the two sections). For instructional purposes, however, we have placed move 1 in the Discussion section, and we use a stand-alone Discussion section in the three hypothetical posters presented below. We follow this approach, in part, to maintain a clear distinction between results (just the facts) and discussion (interpretation of the facts). 

Although the focus of this chapter is on visual appeal, a good-looking poster is not a substitute for good science. Viewers visit your poster to learn about your science, not the latest trends in graphic design. Therefore, conservative, but effective, use... 

Text style and special effects (e.g., bold, italics, shadows) must also be considered when making decisions about fonts. Bolding can be used effectively, primarily for the title, authors names and affiliations, section headings, and graphics labels (e.g.. Table 1, Fig. 3) contained in titles or captions (not in the main text). Too much bolding, however, can distract the viewer (or, worse, divert the viewer s attention from important content) and make your poster difficult to read. 

Now that your poster design is almost complete, you can experiment with a color scheme. Try several different combinations of colors until you find one that is pleasing and easy to read. Make sure that the colors you select enhance your poster rather than distract the viewer from the scientific content. Choose poster and text backgrounds that enhance the readability of your poster. Decide whether there are any additional graphics, such as logos and photos, that you would like to add to your poster. 

Lastly, it is important to visualize plates to obtain a graphical overview of the screen. To this end we have developed a Plate Viewer to create heatmaps and an R template in KNIME to generate scatter plots of screening campaigns. These tools allow to visualize row and column artifacts and to compare the performance of various plate batches during a screening campaign.
