Abstract

SUMMARY: The relationship between intron distribution in the eukaryotic gene and protein structural elements is essential for understanding the origin and evolution of genes. XdomView is a web-based viewer mapping protein structural domains and intron positions in eukaryotic homologues to its tertiary structure. The association of sequence signals to 3D structure in XdomView provides a valuable visualization environment for eukaryotic gene organization, gene evolution, protein folding and protein structure classification. AVAILABILITY: Freely available from http://surya.bic.nus.edu.sg/xdom.

GeneRecords: a relational database for GenBank flat file parsing and data manipulation in personal computers.

UNLABELLED: Extracting the desired data from a database entry for later analysis is a constant need in the biological sequence analysis community; GeneRecords 1.0 is a solution for GenBank biological flat file parsing, as it implements a structured representation of each feature and feature qualifier in GenBank following import in a common database managing system usable in a personal computer (Macintosh and Windows environments). This collection of related databases enables the local management of GenBank records, allowing indexing, retrieval and analysis of both information and sequences on a personal computer. AVAILABILITY: The current release, including the FileMaker Pro runtime application (built for Windows and Macintosh environments), is freely available at http://apollo11.isto.unibo.it/software/

ProteoMix: an integrated and flexible system for interactively analyzing large numbers of protein sequences.

UNLABELLED: ProteoMix is a suite of JAVA programs for identifying, annotating and predicting regions of interest in large sets of amino acid sequences, according to systematic and consistent criteria. It is based on two concepts (1) the integration of results from different sequence analysis tools increases the prediction reliability; and (2) the integration protocol is critical and needs to be easily adaptable in a case-by-case manner. ProteoMix was designed to analyze simultaneously multiple protein sequences using several bioinformatics tools, merge the results of the analyses using logical functions and display them on an integrated viewer. In addition, new sequences can be added seamlessly to an analysis performed on an initial set of sequences. ProteoMix has a modular design, and bioinformatics tools are run on remote servers accessed using the Internet Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), ensuring the swift implementation of additional tools. ProteoMix has a user-friendly interactive graphical user interface environment and runs on PCs with Microsoft OS.

GDPC: connecting researchers with multiple integrated data sources.

UNLABELLED: The goal of this project is to simplify access to genomic diversity and phenotype data, thereby encouraging reuse of this data. The Genomic Diversity and Phenotype Connection (GDPC) accomplishes this by retrieving data from one or more data sources and by allowing researchers to analyze integrated data in a standard format. GDPC is written in JAVA and provides (1) data sources available as web services that transfer XML formatted data via the SOAP protocol; (2) a JAVA API for programmatic access to data sources; and (3) a front-end application that allows users to manage data sources, retrieve data based on filters, sort/group data based on property values and save/open the data as XML files. AVAILABILITY: The source code, compiled code, documentation and GDPC Browser are freely available at: www.maizegenetics.net/gdpc/index.html the current release of GDPC is version 1.0, with updated releases planned for the future. Comments are welcome.
