Computer software products, methods, and systems are described which provide functionality to a user conducting experiments designed to detect and/or identify genetic sequences and other characteristics of a genetic sample, such as, for instance, gene copy number and aberrations thereof. The presently described software allows the user to interact with a graphical user interface which depicts the genetic information obtained from the experiment. The presently disclosed methods and software are related to bioinformatics and biological data analysis. Specifically, provided are methods, computer software products and systems for analyzing and visually depicting genotyping data on a screen or other visual projection. The presently disclosed methods and software allow the user conducting the experiment to differentially filter complex genetic data and information by varying genetic parameters and removing or highlighting visually various regions of genetic data of interest (CytoRegions). These differential filters may be applied by the user to the entire set of genetic data and/or only to the specific CytoRegions of interest.
