We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

VisualMOA is an applet which provides a visual frontend for the Microbial Online Analysis database, which contains over 600 sequenced genomes of bacteria, archaea, and small worms and plants.

Organisms can be selected through either a radial or tree based view. Once an organism is selected, the known chromosomes or plasmids for that organism are displayed and can be selected to view the genes on that chromosome. Genes are coloured by their function. Further information can be displayed by hovering over the gene. If it exists, microbe properties, images and descriptions are displayed.

It pauses for a few seconds when loading genome sequences (the applet must call a php script which searches a 3 million row MySQL table).

For more information on what you're seeing, please check out:

Unfortunately, we don't have mammals in our database, even through they've been sequenced. Storing this information would be a strain on our resources, and our lab group focuses on microbes.

Ahh, isn't biology wonderful? Very interesting project, and great UI design. There were only a few issues, one being that my computer was chugging while in the applet, (might have a slow pc) and there was some text overlay issues on a few things. Overall, really, really interesting. Good job!
