Inspiration

Old project I did for an internship. Will not be using proprietary data. Just a basic interface using MVC, React, and a database. For the community aspect, this could technically be used by the scientific community to identify motifs in the novel coronavirus. I doubt it would be better than the bioinformatics pipelines that researchers already have in place but who knows.

What it does

Take FASTA format DNA/RNA/protein sequence files and save them to database. Use LINQ to query the database for matches. Return matches. Save queries for later viewing.

How I built it

.NET Core implementation of MVC for flexible backend for hosting separate from frontend. React implementation of frontend using React plugins for CSS styling and other non-native React functionality. SQL database for a data store and query engine. Hook into database using LINQ for queries. Probably going to use containerization to make setup easy.

Challenges I ran into

Probably finding motivation to finish.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Finding the motivation to finish (if I finish). Starting (if I don't finish)

What I learned

Probably a bit of containerization.

What's next for Protein Motif Analyzer

Probably nothing.
