Automated Programming for Bioinformatics Algorithm Deployment (APBA)

APBA is dynamic wizard application that provides users with a graphical interface for most bioinformatics toolkits. Compatible with Java-built libraries, the application interface is generated in real-time based on the original Java source code. To demonstrate how it works you can download the original source code and the dynamically generated GUI for two bioinformatics toolkits below.

For more information please read the help manual. Also, a tutorial is available.

TOOLKIT	ORIGINAL SOURCE CODE	GENERATED GUI	EXAMPLE INPUT FILES
Open Biomedical Ontology-Based Exploration and Search (OBOES) OBOES is an ontology analysis-based bioinformatics application.			Gene Ontology File Human Annotation File
ReadSeq ReadSeq is sequence analysis-type application			FASTA DNA Sequence File

To use the framework with your own toolkit, please download the framework and place your toolbox code files in the "BackendClasses" folder. You download the APBA platform and code.

This platform requires the freely available Java 6 runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Double-clicking on the program yields a main class error. What is wrong?
A: Please make sure you have Java 6 installed.
