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.
