back to STRAP: multiple sequence alignment
Contributers
many thanks to Prof. Frömmel who
encouraged me to develop this tool, to the reviewers of the
journal Bioinformatics for their advice and valuable criticism.
Marcel van den Bosch created the Wiki site
http://www.bioinformatics.nu/
Kristian Rother helped with the Windows.
Andrean Goede contributed his superposition program.
Andreas Hoppe, Robert Preissner, Armin Weiser gave many valuable hints.
Nick Robinson made the concept for the publication HotSwap for bioinformatics
Alexander v. Below: Made executables for Intel Mac.
Hergo Holzhütters group for testing and improving Metannogen.
The Jena Library team: Jürgen Sühnel and Rolf Hühne for their expertize on biological units.
BTIhelped improving GUI.
A crucial feature of STRAP is the ability to quickly identify
homologous
3D-structures for sequence files. For this purpose, Fabrice David
has developed the
server back-end.
Software tools used for developing STRAP
STRAP was developed with the following free software tools:
- XEMACS
- JDK by Sun and IBM
- Java tools and libs: FindBugs, PMD, edtFTPj
- LaTex
- Linux
- Retroweaver, by Toby Reyelts which allows to run STRAP on older Java versions
- HTML-syntax checkers: Tidy and Watson
- Gimp
The following free libraries/programs are used:
edtftpj, JOrtho, pdfbox
Jmol, Pymol, VMD, Rasmol
Thanks to all who tested STRAP on different computer platforms: Andreas Gille, Koen van der Drift, ...
