publication
Evidence: moderate
Author Information
Author(s): Keith A Jolley, Martin C J Maiden
Primary Institution: University of Oxford
Hypothesis
The software agdbNet can facilitate the creation of web-based antigen sequence databases for bacterial typing.
Conclusion
The software provides a rapid means of setting up customised Internet antigen sequence databases.
Supporting Evidence
- The software is currently in use on at least five public databases for typing various bacteria.
- It allows simultaneous querying of multiple loci using nucleotide or peptide sequences.
- The software can be configured to accommodate different typing schemes.
Takeaway
This software helps scientists create online databases to track different types of bacteria quickly and easily.
Methodology
The software runs on Linux or UNIX systems and uses PostgreSQL and Apache, with a core written in Perl.
