Integrated Desktop Software for Management of Virus Data

摘要

A system and method for managing virus data may include software tailored for rapid, efficient and flexible management of virus data. The system may easier overcome data management problems. Moreover, the system may streamline the serious bottleneck of data management, significantly compressing time between data collection and cure discovery. The system may comprise graphical-user interface (GU I) tools and a data-storage and retrieval system. It may also include a commercial relational database engine. The system may include annotation, alignment, phylogenetics and mutation analysis tools. The alignment tool may be linked to a query tool and include a contig assembler. The system may include mutation tracking, report generation and entropy measurement tools, as well as statistical routines and security and installation packages. The system may include a software architecture comprised of three tiers: a presentation (GUI) tier, a middleware (Domain) tier, and a relational database management system (RDBMS) tier.

1. A system for management of virus data, the system comprising:
one or more graphical-user interface (GUI) tools and a data-storage; retrieval system (DSRS), wherein the DSRS stores genetic, biological, clinical, and phenotypic virus data and the one or more GUI tools operate to effect control of the system to manage and analyze the data, and wherein the one or more GUI tools and the DSRS are integrated for the management of the virus data without exporting data; and an import tool that automates a task of separating one or more virus sequences into at least one of individual proteins and regions.
