Current Comparative Table (CCT) automates customized searches of dynamic biological databases
What you can do:
Automate customized bioinformatics searches.
Highlights:
- The Current Comparative Table (CCT) software program enables working biologists to automate customized bioinformatics searches, typically of remote sequence or HMM (hidden Markov model) databases.
- CCT currently supports BLAST, hmmpfam and other programs useful for gene and ortholog identification.
- The software is web based, has a BioPerl core and can be used remotely via a browser or locally on Mac OS X or Linux machines. CCT is particularly useful to scientists who study large sets of molecules in today's evolving information landscape because it color-codes all result files by age and highlights even tiny changes in sequence or annotation.
- By empowering non-bioinformaticians to automate custom searches and examine current results in context at a glance, CCT allows a remote database submission in the evening to influence the next morning's bench experiment.
- A demonstration of CCT is available at http://orb.public.stolaf.edu/CCTdemo
