* Package name : biofox Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Saleem Mohammed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://schematron.unl.edu/biofox/ * License : MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 Description : bioinformatics tools as an extension on the Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape browsers Code bioFOX aims at implementing various bioinformatics tools as an extension on the Mozilla and Firefox browsers. Analysis of your favorite gene(s) usually require(s) retrieving it from a database like NCBI or Swiss-Prot and then performing one or more tasks including but not limited to: * Translation of a nucleotide sequence * Blast search (For eg. blastn, blastp etc.) of the desired nucleotide/protein sequence. * Calculation of properties (like PI, charge, molecular weight, AT/GC content etc.) of a protein/nucleotide sequence. * Conversion between formats (Genbank, Fasta, Swiss-Prot etc.) * Prediction of sequence for sub-cellular localization (PREDOTAR, TargetP, pSORT etc) Each of these tasks requires at least the following 4 steps: * Visiting one of the sequence database websites, * searching for the gene using its name or accession ID (ACC ID), * copying the gene sequence * and importing it to other bioinformatics websites for further analysis. Code bioFOX upon implementation would make analysis of desired sequences easier than it is today. For example, selecting a sequence and submitting it directly to a particular website of interest. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-mm1-biolinux1 Locale: LANG=pt_BR, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pt_BR) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
