GENOMALYSIS

Genomalysis is a Java application currently implemented for Windows that allows users to perform data mining and viewing operations on the proteomes and Genomes of various species. The project aims to provide a rich graphical user interface with which end users can mine for and analyze sequences of interest. Currently, Genomalysis can open, parse, and perform mining functions on files containing genomic and proteomic data in FASTA format. The project aims to provide an extensible mechanism to do bulk processing on sequence data in order to facilitate gene discovery and characterization efforts. The idea for Genomalysis was thought up by Benjamin Patterson, a master's level biologist who studied at Humboldt State University. Some of the research that was facilitated by Genomalysis is mentioned in his master's thesis (PDF 1MB). The original implementation of code in Java/Swing was done by Wolfgang Meyers.
