Web based Genome portal for Haptophytes.

This project is a web portal for the Haptophytes. The web portal has been created keeping in mind the requirements of the researchers in their study of Genomes. This portal focuses mainly on Haptophytes, three of them to be precise; Emiliania huxleyi, Gephyrocapsa oceanica and Isochrysis galbana. A few tools have been embedded into the web portal to help study the genomes. These tools include JBrowse, BLAST and Synteny. The JBrowse that is embedded is a genome browser that helps to explore the genome and gives specific information about each gene. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is used for the sequencing search of the bioinformatics programs. The FASTA file i.e., a text format that represents the nucleotides or peptide sequences for each of the three genomes have also been made available for download via the web portal.
