Integration of BioInformatics tools at NUS
2
GenBank Growth Chart Year Bases
3
Use of Computers in Molecular Biology Powerful tools for organise the data itself. – Exponential growth. – A new release is made every two months. Data Analysis. – Retrieval. – Homology Search. – Modelling purposes - Drug Design Data Integration Data Visualisation
4
BioInformatics Tools at NUS BioPortal BioKris (formerly called BioKleisli) BioWebWatch (Bio-Eyes) BioJake Other projects
5
BioPortal BioPortal
6
BioPortal User friendly gateways to GCG and other software.
7
Prior Scenario Command line interface. Basic OS knowledge. User Interface(UI) for each program. Platform dependent. Transient phase Hyper text Menu Based Interface
8
Present Scenario User-Friendly web interface to Biosoftware. Platform Independent. Depends on Client - Server Technology. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs written in PERL and C.
9
Programs available GCG PHYLIP CLUSTALW GNUPLOT SIGNALSCAN LOCAL ALIGN TULLA
10
Graphical Representation of BioPortal Functionality
11
The web interface allows you to focus on "How will I solve my sequence analysis problems?" rather than on "How do I use this software?"
12
Special features User Friendly Interface The form based approach simplifies the task. It guides you through the whole program. No need to install and learn command line interface of all software. Format Independent Hyperlinks for Results
14
Formats supported
15
Results for Signal Scan
16
Special features Online Help Speeds up your data entry and analysis. Conduit Output can be piped to other programs for further analysis. Pileup Distances Growtree.
19
Special features Temp file usage: (a) Output of other programs is input for them. (b) Programs which take a lot of time. Improved Operation Control: A fully customisable interface provides a flexible environment. Shared Access: This interface allows several distant users to use the same program simultaneously. Remote retrieval and analysis: This interface allows you to access your program from anywhere in the world.
20
Special features of JAVA ver. Navigation Panel : Java navigation allows to view the tree structure for the programs. File handling Capability: Local desk top file loading.

BioKleisli or BioKris
25
Introduction A BIC-KRDL collaboration Open query system for broad-scale integration of heterogeneous distributed databanks Flexible access for existing biological databanks
26
Features and Benefits Features Provides a query system that can integrate all types of biology databanks and analysis software express high level views and transformations that go beyond flat tables Flexible access = migrate + integrate + restructure Benefits More effective and easier access to world wide data for biologists Enhances productivity and simplifies programming tasks

BioWebWatchorBio-Eyes
36
Problems Too much Information? Many sites to cover despite automatic notification. Revisit your site of interest at least once a month.
37
BioWebWatch Allows users to automate queries. Channels. Users Keywords Websites
38
Goals Collecting, aggregating, managing and integrating information. Integration with existing software tools. Sharing information across the organisation. Collaboration with other information servers.
39
What’s out there? Electronic Journals Web Pages News Groups Databases

BioJake BioJake
49
BioJAKE BioJAKE is a graphical program allowing for the onscreen creation, manipulation and visualization of metabolic pathways. Pathways are represented as a series of molecules (images) linked together by a series of reactions (lines). Each molecule is defined through it’s image, name, type and states.
