DNA & PROTEIN SEQUENCE ANALYSIS CONSULTING & SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

在UCSF的序列分析咨询服务，提供 测序数据库和软件，包括1200多个实验室， 加州大学旧金山分校的人，我们有听力软件的独特优势， 研究人员的发展重点。 一个地区多个 科学家们认为需要改进的是用户界面。 许多 生物信息学计划尚未利用在以下方面取得的进展： 如WWW，Python，Java和CGI。 两大领域 缺乏用户界面的易用性是同源建模和测序 对齐编辑，它跨越了分子之间的边界， 生物学家和结构和计算生物化学家。 软件 用于序列比对和结构同源性建模的工具必须 随着EST等新数据和WWW等技术的发展而发展。 我们设计了一些程序， 技术，使信息学家/科学家有一个更多的 用户友好和高效的工作环境。 我们正在设计一个 Perl和Python的应用程序，分子生物学家感兴趣的 结构，使UNIX序列分析和同源性建模工具 就像浏览网页一样简单。计算机图形实验室及其 资源为这项跨学科工作提供了独特的背景。

At the Sequence Analysis Consulting Services of UCSF, providing sequence databases and software to over 100 labs including over 1200 people at UCSF, we have the unique advantage of hearing software development priorities directly from the researchers. One area many scientists feel requires much improvement is user interface. Many bioinformatics programs have yet to take advantage of advances made in area such as the WWW, Python, Java and the CGI. Two major areas lacking in user-interface ease are homology modeling and sequence alignment editing, which crosses the boundary between molecular biologists and structural and computational biochemists. Software tools for sequence alignments and structure homology modeling must evolve with the new data such as EST and technologies such as the WWW. We have designed programs that take advantage of these new technologies to enable the informaticist/scientist to have a more user-friendly and efficient working environment. We are designing a Perl and Python application for molecular biologists interested in structure to make UNIX sequence analysis and homology modeling tools as easy as browsing the Web. The Computer Graphics Lab and its resources offer a unique context for this interdisciplinary work.
