Bioinformatics. 2013 Apr 15;29(8):1103-4. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btt100. Epub 2013 Feb 23.

Abstract

Summary: BioJS is an open-source project whose main objective is the visualization of biological data in JavaScript. BioJS provides an easy-to-use consistent framework for bioinformatics application programmers. It follows a community-driven standard specification that includes a collection of components purposely designed to require a very simple configuration and installation. In addition to the programming framework, BioJS provides a centralized repository of components available for reutilization by the bioinformatics community.

Availability and implementation: http://code.google.com/p/biojs/.
