Hi all, I'm relatively new to DAS, and I have been playing with setting up a DAS server using Dazzle. Now that I have created my reference and annotation data sources, naturally enough I would like to start browsing and visualizing the data. So...
Q1) Which DAS client do you recommend for a beginner working with Dazzle? I am working in a Linux OS, and I am looking at gene predictions on a chromosome as well as 'similarity' features between the chromosome and several 'clones' from a closely related organism. To organize my research into the various clients available, I created the following page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Annotation_System/Clients That table is still quite rough, so please feel free to contribute information there. I put the table into a sub-page of the DAS page so that sites like http://www.biodas.org/ can easily 'transclude' this information. I'm not sure if that's sensible or not yet, so let me know what you think. Since we are exploring the various possibilities of using DAS with our projects, is it possible to set up a local (private) DAS registry server? This would be useful for testing purposes, especially as we may be initially working with unpublished data. Q2) What steps are required for setting up a local or a secure DAS registry? Thanks very much for any help with the above two questions. Dan P.S. Is this spam? http://www.biodas.org/wiki/Smother or some strange data encoding that I don't understand? I've seen more than one page that looks like this. e.g. http://www.biodas.org/wiki/Selflessnesss - Should I go ahead and delete this pages? _______________________________________________ DAS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/das
