CARGO -- A web portal to integrate customized biological information

What you can do:
A open platform system that aims to facilitate the analysis of biological data, including visualization, mapping, and literature retrieval.
Highlights:
  • There is a huge quantity of information generated in Life Sciences, and it is dispersed in many databases and repositories.
  • Despite the broad availability of the information, there is a great demand for methods that are able to look for, gather and display distributed data in a standardized and friendly way.
  • CARGO (Cancer And Related Genes Online) is a configurable biological web portal designed as a tool to facilitate, integrate and visualize results from Internet resources, independently of their native format or access method.
  • Through the use of small agents, called widgets, supported by a Rich Internet Application (RIA) paradigm based on AJAX, CARGO provides pieces of minimal, relevant and descriptive biological information.
  • The tool is designed to be used by experimental biologists with no training in bioinformatics. In the current state, the system presents a list of human cancer genes.
