Evolution Highway

Evolution Highway: "Evolution Highway was a collaborative project to provide a visual means for simultaneously comparing mammalian genomes of humans, horses, cats, dogs, pigs, cattle, rats, and mice. The tool removes the burden of manually aligning these maps and allows cognitive skills to be used on something more valuable than preparation and transformation of data. Primary Researcher Dr. Harris A. Lewin explains that with Evolution Highway one is able to look ' . . . at the whole genome at once--multiple chromosomes across multiple species. The insights wouldn't have come so quickly if we couldn't throw the data at this tool from NCSA.”
