Intelligent Interface for Sequence Analysis (IISA)
[ IISA
Project at SourceForge.net |
Sequence analysis is no longer a prerogative of bioinformaticians. It has become an indispensable part of clinical research. Bioinformatics is gradually shifting emphasis from 'building the tools' to its 'applications in a clinical setting'. There are myriads of tools available for sequence analysis. However clinicians capable of generating bioinformatics related hypothesis may find these tools complicated and the interpretation confusing. This knowledge gap can be bridged by expert systems capable of performing basic sequence analysis and interpretation. Intelligent Interface to Sequence Analysis (IISA) is one such attempt to create a system utilising the sequence manipulating power of Perl (especially Bioperl module) and logical analyzing potential of Prolog. IISA has several perl scripts which will submit the sequence to online sequence analysis programs, parse the script and then write the output as a prolog file. Prolog can consult these output files along with the other rule files to derive intelligent assumptions. Please visit IISA Wiki for more details.
If you find this idea appealing and if you are a bioinformatician who
believes in "let's do it" versus
"when will they?" then Welcome on Board!
I invite you to join this open source project hosted by sourceForge.net.
Please
contact me with your
details and I will send you the cvs information to join me as a developer.
If you are just interested in using the software (it is not stable as yet)
or just seeing the source code, it is available for free download from the
sourceforge homepage. The experimental web interface located at
