Abstract. In this article we introduce QtBiVis - a novel software intended for the comparative analysis of biclustering results. This modular tool has been efficiently implemented in C++ with Qt framework GUI. It may be successfully used for coverage analysis of the results of biclustering as well filtering or sorting biclusters by Gene Ontology (GO) identifiers or bicluster enrichment values. It may also be useful for parameter studies of biclustering algorithms. In future releases we plan to add different modules for visualizing and comparing different GO terms and biclusters.
