Abstract

We describe an inexpensive method for digital video recording of behavioral experiments and present a simple, freely-redistributable software tool enabling ethographic analysis of these recordings via classification of video frames into user-defined categories. While high-end commercial solutions already exist for these purposes, we focus on minimizing equipment expenses and complexity for research projects or undergraduate laboratory courses employing compatible behavioral paradigms.

GenoMap, a circular genome data viewer.

A Tcl/Tk-based application called GenoMap is described, a viewer for genome-wide map of microarray expression data within a circular bacterial genome. An interactive interface facilitates easy identification of the expressed region. This software is also used for drawing genome-wide quantitative data.

SWISS-MODEL: An automated protein homology-modeling server.

SWISS-MODEL (http://swissmodel.expasy.org) is a server for automated comparative modeling of three-dimensional (3D) protein structures. It pioneered the field of automated modeling starting in 1993 and is the most widely-used free web-based automated modeling facility today. In 2002 the server computed 120 000 user requests for 3D protein models. SWISS-MODEL provides several levels of user interaction through its World Wide Web interface: in the 'first approach mode' only an amino acid sequence of a protein is submitted to build a 3D model. Template selection, alignment and model building are done completely automated by the server. In the 'alignment mode', the modeling process is based on a user-defined target-template alignment. Complex modeling tasks can be handled with the 'project mode' using DeepView (Swiss-PdbViewer), an integrated sequence-to-structure workbench. All models are sent back via email with a detailed modeling report. WhatCheck analyses and ANOLEA evaluations are provided optionally. The reliability of SWISS-MODEL is continuously evaluated in the EVA-CM project. The SWISS-MODEL server is under constant development to improve the successful implementation of expert knowledge into an easy-to-use server.
