Genome Enhancer is brought to you
by Open Genomics,
a web-based service that makes bioinformatics tools
freely available to the academic community.
Genome Enhancer is the latest update to Fly Enhancer,
a program originally written with a command-line interface
to scan Release 1 of the D. melanogaster genome.
(Markstein et al., 2002).
Unlike the original program, Genome Enhancer can interface
with all NCBI formatted genomes and currently supports queries
to the fly, mosquito, worm, and plant genomes.
If you use Genome Enhancer,
please cite the URL
http://genomeenhancer.org/
in your publication.
This website was developed using Python,
a custom Python module for scanning the genome written in C, and the
WebKit application server.
The Open Genomics server has been funded by the UC Berkeley Center for Integrative Genomics since March 2004. Previously, the server was funded solely out of the meager graduate student stipends of its co-founders, developmental biologist Michele Markstein and computer scientist Ka-Ping Yee. |
