DNALinux

The server edition features a live NCBI BLAST server. The H5N1 genomic sequence is included, but you can install you own sequence database. This version is based on Slax 5.10 and Apache 2.

The base system was updated, and is now based on Slax 5.04 (with Kernel 2.6.x). Several new features were added, like installation to a hard drive. The bioinformatics applications were updated: EMBOSS 3.0.0, BLAST 2.2.10, FinchTV, and new programs were added. Access to bioinformatics programs from KDE was added. This is a beta release because the bioinformatics icons are missing and because some Java programs are not working. FinchTV text is also not displayed correctly. Most bioinformatics programs work fine.

The system is now based on Slax 4.1.4. EMBOSS was updated to 2.9.0 with full PNG and X11 support for prettyplot, dotmatcher, and polydot. FinchTV 1.2, an ABI DNA raw sequence data graphical viewer was added.

A JRE and develper tools for C, Perl, and Python
were added. Sim4 was added, which is a
similarity-based tool for aligning an expressed
DNA sequence with a genomic sequence for the gene.
Apollo, a graphical sequence editor, was added.

This release features an updated base distro (Slax 4.1.2
instead of 3.x series) that includes several modifications and
the last NCBI BLAST (2.2.9).
