Motivation:
With the main focus of the Human Genome Project shifting to sequencing, bioinformatics support for constructing large-scale genomic maps of other organisms is still required. We attempt to provide for this with our work, aimed at the delivery of robust and user-friendly contig-building software on the WWW.
Results:
We present a prototype distributed analytical environment for molecular biologists working in the area of genomic mapping. It consists of the WWW server for constructing contigs from users' data with a hypertext output connected to Java-based map visualization software.
