1. Gene Information GUI By David Bittner

2. Goal of GUI The website Genecards.org is a database of all known genes that collects data from dozens of sources The problem is that there is a great deal of information for every Gene My GUI takes data and better organizes it as well as display it graphically

3. GUI Demo

4. Input Data The user input is simple, just type the gene symbol of the gene you wish to know more about User Input: Chemokine(C-C motif) ligand 1 CCL1 From there program reads input data from website from web based data Program inputs.tiff,.txt and.pdb

5. GUI Flow Chart User inputs specific gene symbol into the edit text box Program finds and downloads data from 4 websites that where gene cards has collected data Data automatically displayed on GUI or by clicking on axes to display figures/graphs

7. Data Structures Cont. getmrnagraph.pdb file to 2 cell arrays to plot getchromosome.png image file getpapers.txt file getsummary string getinteractions.png image file and string

8. Result of GUI Easier to obtain selected data from GUI than to search for it on genecards and other databases Have a better understanding of Gene and protein functions Gene interaction Gene expression levels throughout body

9. Project Challenges/Unsolved Problems Can only search by symbol Had problems with code creating direct link to articles GUI takes some time to run, find a way to run in faster Parts of GUI only run once had problems with clear function
