This project is a web application that provides a collection of commonly used bioinformatics tools. The goal is to create a user-friendly interface and enable users to perform various bioinformatics analyses directly in the browser.
The Bioinformatics Toolbox currently includes the following tools:
-
Sequence Manipulation: This tool allows users to perform operations on DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, such as reverse complement, translation, and sequence formatting.
-
Multiple Sequence Alignment: Users can input multiple sequences and align them using popular algorithms like ClustalW or Muscle.
-
Primer Design: This tool assists users in designing primers for PCR experiments. It suggests primer pairs based on specific criteria such as melting temperature, GC content, and amplicon size.
-
BLAST Search: Users can perform nucleotide or protein sequence searches against various databases using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST).
-
Phylogenetic Analysis: This tool enables users to build phylogenetic trees based on sequence data, using algorithms like neighbor-joining or maximum likelihood.
-
Motif Search: Users can search for known motifs or patterns within DNA or protein sequences using tools like MEME or HMMER.
-
Gene Expression Analysis: This tool provides statistical analysis and visualization options for gene expression data, including differential expression analysis and clustering.
To use the Bioinformatics Toolbox locally, follow these steps:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/bioinformatics-toolbox.git -
Navigate to the project directory:
cd bioinformatics-toolbox -
Open the
index.htmlfile in your preferred web browser.
-
Upon opening the
index.htmlfile, you will be presented with the Bioinformatics Toolbox interface. -
Select the desired tool from the navigation menu on the left.
-
Follow the instructions provided on each tool's page to input your data and configure the analysis parameters.
-
Once you have filled in the necessary information, click the "Submit" or "Run" button to initiate the analysis.
-
Wait for the analysis to complete, and the results will be displayed on the page or available for download.
