GraphKey

GraphKey is a software application designed to take in complex and large amounts of microbiological data and allow users to analyze and visualize said data. Visualizations are customizable and meet the requirements to be published in research papers. The appliation also interfaces with Google Drive, allowing users to directly upload their generated visualizations. One of the key aspects of GraphKey is that multiple graphs can be generated at the same time, while also utilizing the same template (color scheme, font size, etc...) for all graphs. This application was designed to be easy-to-use, with people unfamiliar with software in mind.
