BIOLOGICAL DATA ANNOTATION AND VISUALIZATION

Dynamic linking of pathway maps and cell maps is disclosed in certain embodiments. In such embodiments, the pathway maps are linked to spatially-localized regional nucleic acid data (e.g., sequence data), as opposed to non-spatially selected nucleic acid data. The pathway map and cell map data may be linked so that interactions results in changes or updates to the linked map, such as the selection or highlighting of cells exhibiting pathway map characteristics specified by a user of updating of node values or states to correspond to that of a cell or cells selected by the user.
