DAS

Distributed Annotation System.

RESTful web service (XML data through HTTP requests)

Uniform access to multiple repositories of biological data.

Repositories distributed in different geographical locations.

Different biological data types:

- Genome

- Protein sequence

- Protein structure

- …

System widely adopted.

Requires visual clients (connect + merge + display).

Dasty2

It is an Ajax web-based protein DAS client (asynchronous loading + local caching).

Lighweight.

Highly customizable

- User

- Developer

Easy to integrate in other systems.

Extensible.

Dasty2 extensions Extensions aim to enrich Dasty2 by: - Visualizing more data types provided by DAS. - Providing extra functionality to domain experts. Extensions: - Integration server - Three dimensional protein structure viewer - Genome viewer - Display multiple aligment results - Visual ontology query tool - Advance search web page
