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..

Rich Pictures: collaborative communication through icons (2013)
Journal Article
Berg, T., & Pooley, R. (2013). Rich Pictures: collaborative communication through icons. Systemic Practice and Action Research, 26, 361-376. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11213-012-9238-8

A visual language of pictures, such as the rich picture used in the Soft System Methodology, offers a way of global communication that far exceeds the limitations of text and speech. Simple graphics can be rapidly communicated, processed and transmit... Read More about Rich Pictures: collaborative communication through icons.

Rich Pictures: A valuable means to explore complex IS issues (2012)
Journal Article
Berg, T., & Pooley, R. (2012). Rich Pictures: A valuable means to explore complex IS issues. Journal of Systemic Practice and Action Research,

This paper discusses the value and interpretive risks when using iconography for system understanding using the rich picture tool. It is suggested that a visual language of pictures offers a way of global communication that far exceeds the limitation...

VIPER: a visualisation tool for exploring inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees (2012)
Journal Article
Paterson, T., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Law, A. (2012). VIPER: a visualisation tool for exploring inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees. BMC Bioinformatics, 13/8, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-13-S8-S5

Pedigree genotype datasets are used for analysing genetic inheritance and to map genetic markers and traits. Such datasets consist of hundreds of related animals genotyped for thousands of genetic markers and invariably contain multiple errors in bot...

Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data (2011)
Journal Article
Graham, M., Kennedy, J., Paterson, T., & Law, A. (2011). Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data. Computer Graphics Forum, 30, 1011-1020. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8659.2011.01950.x

Genetic analysis of a breeding animal population involves determining the inheritance pattern of genotypes for multiple genetic markers across the individuals in the population pedigree structure. However, experimental pedigree genotype data invariab... Read More about Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data.

Capture and analysis of racing gameplay metrics (2011)
Journal Article
Jimenez, E., Mitchell, K., & Seron, F. (2011). Capture and analysis of racing gameplay metrics. IEEE Software, 28, 46-52. https://doi.org/10.1109/MS.2011.71

This article presents a flexible, extendable system called Tracktivity that can capture gameplay metrics in any type of leaderboard-based video game. This system incorporates novel visualizations, including a dynamic competition balancing (DCB) measu... Read More about Capture and analysis of racing gameplay metrics.

Research directions in data wrangling: Visualizations and transformations for usable and credible data (2011)
Journal Article
Kandel, S., Heer, J., Plaisant, C., Kennedy, J., Ham, F. V., Riche, N. H., …Buono, P. (2011). Research directions in data wrangling: Visualizations and transformations for usable and credible data. Information Visualization, Octobe, 271-288. https://doi.org/10.1177/1473871611415994

In spite of advances in technologies for working with data, analysts still spend an inordinate amount of time diagnosing data quality issues and manipulating data into a usable form. This process of ‘data wrangling’ often constitutes the most tedious... Read More about Research directions in data wrangling: Visualizations and transformations for usable and credible data.

A survey of multiple tree visualisation. (2010)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2010). A survey of multiple tree visualisation. Information Visualization, 9, 235-252. https://doi.org/10.1057/ivs.2009.29

This paper summarises the state-of-the-art in multiple tree visualisations. It discusses the spectrum of current representation techniques used on single trees, pairs of trees and finally multiple trees, in order to identify which representations are...

Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations (2007)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007). Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 13, 1294-1301. https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2007.70556

We present a Directed Acyclic Graph visualisation designed to allow interaction with a set of multiple classification trees, specifically to find overlaps and differences between groups of trees and individual trees. The work is motivated by the need... Read More about Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations.

Novel visualisation techniques for working with multiple, overlapping classification hierarchies (2002)
Journal Article
Graham, M., Watson, M. F., & Kennedy, J. (2002). Novel visualisation techniques for working with multiple, overlapping classification hierarchies. Taxon, 51, 351-358

A Java-based program is presented that provides a visualisation tool for display of and comparison between classification hierarchies. Taxa, or groups of taxa, can be tracked across multiple, overlapping classifications. Recognition of congruence and...
