Introduction

Problem Statement

• Makes our work as bioinformaticians accessible to a wider audience
• Is easy-to-use, requires little bioinformatics knowledge to get the analysis results
• Is visually informative, easy on eyes

Design Objectives

Users should be able to

• Go through the entire pipeline from genome assembly to comparative genomics
• Only execute individual steps
• Easily execute the remainder of the pipeline from any intermediate step

Architecture Design

Approaches

MVC Framework - MODEL

MySQL

• Corresponds to all the data-related logic that the user works with
• Constitutes the computation, execution and visualisations
• Completely abstracted from the user

MVC Framework - View

Javascript, CSS, HTML

• Used for all the UI logic of the application
• Separates user from backend processing

MVC Framework - Controller

Python(Flask)

• Acts as an interface between Model and View components
• Responsible for validation of inputs from view and outputs from model before sending data to either of them
• Responsible for invocation of specific responses based on the requests received

Web server

• Software that understands URLs (web addresses) and HTTP (the protocol your browser uses to view webpages).
• It can be accessed through the domain names of websites it stores, and delivers their content to the end-user's device.
