STRAW: Species TRee Analysis Web server

STRAW: Species TRee Analysis Web server

The coalescent methods for species tree reconstruction are increasingly popular because they can accommodate coalescence and multilocus data sets. Herein, we present STRAW, a web server that offers workflows for reconstruction of phylogenies of species using three species tree methods-MP-EST, STAR and NJst. The input data are a collection of rooted gene trees (for STAR and MP-EST methods) or un...

Performance Analysis of a Web Server

With the rapid development and widespread use of the Internet, Web servers have become a dominant source of information and services. The use of Web servers in business and critical application domains imposes stringent performance requirements on them. These performance requirements cast a direct influence on the choice of the configuration options of the hardware and the software infrastructu...

The GeneQuiz web server: protein functional analysis through the Web.

Today's molecular biologists often find themselves confronted with a paradox: although accurate sequence information on genes of interest is obtained routinely , the subsequent question: 'What is the function of this putative protein?' is much harder to answer. This is true even for experienced experimental researchers , who find themselves struggling suddenly with an overwhelming variety of bi...

Browser Web Server Intermediary ( Cgi ) Database Server

The current generation of object-relational databases can support complex data types including multimedia types. This paper describes some of the challenges and opportunities facing OR-DBMS technology in the web environment. The PREDAT OR project at Cornell is actively exploring some of these issues. We present initial directions that suggest that several standard system design and implementati...
