[Project still under active development]
A web application for generating frequency portraits (and other types of portraits in the future) of gene sequences, with some customization options.
Portraits generated by an unlogged user (guest) are available in Repository section with some limitations until their web session expires. On the other hand, portraits generated by registered users are stored persistently.
This is a Django application, hosted on Heroku platform.
- Django-auth is responsible for authorizing users.
- SQLite is exploited to store portraits persistently.
- A portrait is a frequency portrait of short subsequences of a gene sequence, which is fetched from National Center for Biotechnology Information database based on a short gene term using python requests library.
Visit https://gene-portraits.herokuapp.com/home. Since, for now, the app is hosted on Heroku, the first page loading may take a while.
In Generator, currently only TERM load method is supported, in which case Gene field expects a gene term in NCBI format (locus, optionally appended with ':c' and index range).
Python v3.8 recommended.
