There are so many Bioinformatics databases in the world and the number
of data is increasing everyday. If we can utilize these databases
easily, it will help us a lot. However, most of them are published
on the Internet and we have to use browsers, such as Internet Explorer,
to access them. It will be a tedious job because of the lack
of the automatic search capability. |
|
Perl has been used widely on Linux or FreeBSD to develop scripts to
automate search process. That's why most researchers believe that
it is necessary to learn Perl and setup Linux or FreeBSD machine if you
want to use Bioinformatics. In fact, O'Reilly is publishing
"Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics" or "Mastering Perl for
Bioinformatics". |
|
Why we have to learn programming to use Bioinformatics? Why we
cannot use our PCs for Bioinformatics. |
|
BlastStation2 was developed to answer this question. |
| BlastStation2 is an interface
program for NCBI BLAST, which is one of the most popular Bioinformatics
services on the Internet. |
| BlastStation2 is
free for 14 days. Please download it from
