GeneLoc Mapper is a tool that visualizes gene expression data onto the genome sequence with genes drawn in the viewer
as arrows and colored based on their expression level or ratio. The program can extract genes from the dataset based
on their differential expression, gene location, gene orientation and distance to one another.
GeneLoc Mapper was developed to determine whether neighboring genes are often co-regulated or co-expressed in case of
tissue-specific expression or cell stimulations (for example upon growth hormone activation).
The program has been instrumental in identifying loci of co-expressed genes that might be under the control of locus control regions
or developed by gene duplication events.
