MaTSE: the gene expression time-series explorer. (2013)
Journal Article
Craig, P., Cannon, A., Kukla, R., & Kennedy, J. (2013). MaTSE: the gene expression time-series explorer. BMC Bioinformatics, 14, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-14-S19-S1

Background High throughput gene expression time-course experiments provide a perspective on biological functioning recognized as having huge value for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. There are however significant challenges to... Read More about MaTSE: the gene expression time-series explorer..

MaTSE: The microarray time-series explorer (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Craig, P., Cannon, A., Kukla, R., & Kennedy, J. (2012). MaTSE: The microarray time-series explorer. In 2012 IEEE Symposium on Biological Data Visualization (BioVis) (41-48). https://doi.org/10.1109/biovis.2012.6378591

This paper describes the design, development and evaluation of the Microarray Time-Series Explorer (MaTSE), a novel information visualization application for the exploratory analysis of large scale microarray timeseries data. The software combines a... Read More about MaTSE: The microarray time-series explorer.

Pattern browsing and query adjustment for the exploratory analysis and cooperative visualisation of microarray time-course data. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Craig, P., Cannon, A., Kennedy, J., & Kukla, R. (2010). Pattern browsing and query adjustment for the exploratory analysis and cooperative visualisation of microarray time-course data. In Y. Luo (Ed.), Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering (199-206). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-16066-0_30

This paper presents work to support collaborative visualisation and data analysis in the microarray time-series explorer (MaTSE) software. We introduce a novel visualisation component called the ‘pattern browser’ which is used to support the annotati...

Interactive visualisation tools for supporting taxonomists working practice. (2006)
Thesis
Cannon, A. (2006). Interactive visualisation tools for supporting taxonomists working practice. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3462

The necessity for scientists and others to use consistent terminology has recently been regarded as fundamental to advancing scientific research, particularly where data from disparate sources must be shared, compared or integrated. One area where... Read More about Interactive visualisation tools for supporting taxonomists working practice..

The Prometheus Description Model: an examination of the taxonomic description-building process and its representation (2005)
Journal Article
Pullan, M. R., Armstrong, K. E., Paterson, T., Cannon, A., Kennedy, J. B., Watson, M. F., …Raguenaud, C. (2005). The Prometheus Description Model: an examination of the taxonomic description-building process and its representation. Taxon, 54(3), 751-765. https://doi.org/10.2307/25065431

A model for representing taxonomic descriptive data is presented. The model has been developed in response to the growing requirement for the global exchange of descriptive data. Meaningful exchange of data requires that data be represented in a form...

Ontology-Driven Automated Generation of Data Entry Interfaces to Databases (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Cannon, A., Kennedy, J. B., Paterson, T., & Watson, M. F. (2004). Ontology-Driven Automated Generation of Data Entry Interfaces to Databases. In H. Williams, & L. Mackinnon (Eds.), Key Technologies for Data Management; Lecture Notes in Computer Science (150-164). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-27811-5_15

This paper discusses an ontology based approach for the automatic generation of data entry interfaces to databases. An existing domain ontology is mapped to a system domain model, which a domain expert can then specialise using their domain expertise...

A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Paterson, T., Kennedy, J., Pullan, M. R., Cannon, A., Armstrong, K. E., Watson, M. F., …Russell, G. (2004). A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. In E. Rahm (Ed.), Proceedings of Data Integration in the Life Sciences (DILS) (63-78)

Taxonomists classify biological specimens into groups (taxa) on the basis of similarities between their observed features (characters). The description of these characters is therefore central to taxonomy, but there is currently no agreed model, defi...

A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions. (2003)
Report
Paterson, T., Cannon, A., Raguenaud, C., Russell, G., Armstrong, K. E., MacDonald, S. M., …Kennedy, J. (2003). A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions

Taxonomy has been described as “the science of documenting biodiversity”, which involves collecting, naming, describing, identifying and classifying specimens of organisms (Keogh, 1995). Descriptions are the fundamental information units used in the... Read More about A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions..
