Abstract

A system for providing an interactive interface for biological sequence information is described that includes a GUI manager to manage and display graphical elements, each associated with a user selection of one or more biological sequences, in the panes of a graphical user interface, where the one or more biological sequences includes a chromosome sequence; and one or more biological sequence tools that provide one or more tools to process information based upon a user selection of at least one of the graphical elements.

Claims

1. A system for providing an interactive interface for biological sequence information, comprising:

a GUI manager constructed and arranged to manage and display a plurality of graphical elements each associated with a user selection of one or more biological sequences in a plurality of panes of a graphical user interface, wherein the one or more biological sequences includes a chromosome sequence; and

one or more biological sequence tools constructed and arranged to provide one or more tools to process information based, at least in part, upon a user selection of at least one of the plurality of graphical elements.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the graphical elements are displayed based, at least in part, upon a user selection of magnification level.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the graphical elements include bars, lines, sequence residues, and identifiers.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the one or more biological sequences includes genes, mRNA, EST, protein, probe, and annotation sequences.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein:

each of the plurality of panes is user selectable, wherein the user selection includes positional relocation.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the one or more biological sequence tools includes a quickload tool, a selection info tool, an edge match tool, a slice by selection tool, a graph control tool, a primer design tool, a BLAT tool, an ORF tool, a pattern search tool, and a restriction sites tool.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein:

The one or more biological sequence tools are further constructed and arranged to provide one or more tools to process information based, at least in part, upon user input information.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the GUI manager is further constructed and arranged to display at least one graphical element based, at least in part, upon the processed information of the one or more tools.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the GUI manager is further constructed and arranged to communicate with one or more remote sources via the internet.

10. A method for providing an interactive interface for biological sequence information, comprising the acts of:

managing and displaying a plurality of graphical elements each associated with a user selection of one or more biological sequences in a plurality of panes of a graphical user interface, wherein the one or more biological sequences includes a chromosome sequence; and

providing one or more tools to process information based, at least in part, upon a user selection of at least one of the plurality of graphical elements.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein:

the graphical elements are displayed based, at least in part, upon a user selection of magnification level.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein:

the graphical elements include bars, lines, sequence residues, and identifiers.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein:

the one or more biological sequences includes genes, mRNA, EST, protein, probe, and annotation sequences.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein:

each of the plurality of panes is user selectable, wherein the user selection includes positional relocation.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein:

the one or more biological sequence tools includes a quickload tool, a selection info tool, an edge match tool, a slice by selection tool, a graph control tool, a primer design tool, a BLAT tool, an ORF tool, a pattern search tool, and a restriction sites tool.

16. The method of claim 10, further comprising the act of:

providing one or more tools to process information based, at least in part, upon user input information.

17. The method of claim 10, further comprising the act of:

displaying at least one graphical element based, at least in part, upon the processed information of the one or more tools.

18. The method of claim 10, further comprising the act of:

communicating with one or more remote sources via the internet.

19. A computer program product for providing an interactive interface for biological sequence information, comprising:

a computer having at least one memory unit;

a dynamic display generator constructed and arranged for execution on the computer, wherein the dynamic display generator performs operations comprising the acts of;

managing and displaying a plurality of graphical elements each associated with a user selection of one or more biological sequences in a plurality of panes of a graphical user interface, wherein the one or more biological sequences includes a chromosome sequence; and

providing one or more tools to process information based, at least in part, upon a user selection of at least one of the plurality of graphical elements.
