Graphical Model of HLA/HIV
A visualization of the associations between high-resolution patient HLAs and their HIV sequences

Introduction

The Centre for Clinical Immunology and Biomedical Statistics at Murdoch University Perth and Microsoft Research have created a graphical visualization of HLA/HLA and HLA/sequence associations derived from the Perth chronic cohort (approximately 245 patients).  The visualization software runs on Windows 2000, XP, and 2003.  Instructions for downloading and using the sofware, and details on the data and visualization technology are available below.

Running the Software

  1. Download the graph viewer.
  2. Download one or more model files:

Save them someplace--for example, in the same directory as the graph viewer.

  1. Run the graph viewer from the directory where it is saved. For example, you can press the "start" button, select the "Run" menu and then type: 
    "c:\Program Files\WinMine Browser for HIV\HIVgv".
  2. The program will start. Load the .xmod file of interest by using its File/Open menu items.
