动机：几乎所有用户在使用序列分析程序时都会遇到问题。它们不仅因为参数、语法和语义而难以学习，而且许多都是不同的。这就是为什么我们已经为150多个分子生物学命令行驱动的程序开发了一个Web界面生成器，包括：遗传学，基因预测。比对、RNA、DNA和蛋白质分析、基序发现、结构分析和数据库搜索程序。生成器使用XML作为遗留软件参数的高级描述语言。它的目标是为用户提供相当于基本Unix环境的环境。结果：该程序已被世界各地约15000名用户使用了三年;它最近已被安装在其他网站上，并被评估为一个标准的用户界面，用于BLOSS程序。
Motivation: Almost all users encounter problems using sequence analysis programs. Not only are they difficult to learn because of the parameters, syntax and semantic, but many are different. That is why we have developed a Web interface generator for more than 150 molecular biology command-line driven programs, including: phylogeny, gene prediction. alignment, RNA, DNA and protein analysis, motif discovery, structure analysis and database searching programs. The generator uses XML as a high-level description language of the legacy software parameters. Its aim is to provide users with the equivalent of a basic Unix environment. with program combination, customization and basic scripting through macro registration.Results: The program has been used for three years by about 15 000 users throughout the world; it has recently been installed on other sites and evaluated as a standard user interface for EMBOSS programs.
