Systems, methods, and computer program products for analysis of biological response data are disclosed. Biological datasets are selected from an active biological viewer window on a computer display and projected onto one or more other active biological viewers on the display. The selected data is highlighted in the destination biological viewers using contrast or color differentiation from other data appearing in the destination windows. Systems, methods, and computer program products for displaying hierarchical cluster trees from biological signal profiles in a hyperbolic display fashion are disclosed. Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for precomputing correlation data between biological signal profile data when the experiments are added to a biological response database, thereby eliminating the need for real time computation of correlation coefficients by a user computer.

Method and system for analyzing biological response signal data

A system, method, and computer program product for enhanced computer-aided analysis of biological response data is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, biological datasets are graphically selected by a user from a first active biological viewer window on a user computer display and projected onto one or more other active biological viewers on the display. The selected data is highlighted in the destination biological viewers using contrast or color differentiation from other data appearing in the destination windows. In another preferred embodiment, hierarchical cluster trees from biological signal profiles are presented in a hyperbolic display fashion. In another preferred embodiment, biological menu and submenu items utilized by the user computer are not stored in the user computer, but rather are stored a central biological response database. Biological menus and submenus are generated at startup time based on queries to the central biological response database, allowing for increased flexibility, changeability, and customization of the biological menus. In another preferred embodiment, correlation data between biological signal profile data is precomputed when the experiments are added to the central biological response database, eliminating the need for real time computation of correlation coefficients by the user computer.
