Powerwall visualization of metagenome datasets

Metagenome analysis assigns millions of reads to different nodes of
the NCBI taxonomy, which contains nearly half a million nodes.
Tiled display systems have be proposed as a means of providing an overview over such large metagenomic datasets. The goal of this thesis is to extend the MEGAN metagenome software so that it can run on the powerwall tiled display system
installed at GRIS.

This thesis will be supervised by the Huson lab and the Schilling lab (Uni Tuebingen)
