Bioclipse
The Bioclipse project is a Java-based, open source, visual
platform for chemo- and bioinformatics based on the Eclipse Rich Client
Platform (RCP).
Bioclipse uses a plugin architecture that inherits a
state-of-the-art plugin architecture, functionality, and visual
interfaces from Eclipse, such as help system, software updates,
preferences, cross-platform deployment, and more.
Bioclipse provides functionality for chemo- and
bioinformatics, and extension points that easily can be extended by
other, possibly proprietary, plugins to provide additional
functionality.
Features include:
- Bioinformatics:
- Manage and analyse biological sequences (DNA, RNA, and
protein)
- Relies on BioJava to provide core bioinformatics
functionality and a graphical editor for sequence alignments
- Clients for web services
- Plugin architecture based on Eclipse
- Cheminformatics in Bioclipse is mainly based on the
Chemistry Development Kit
(CDK), and contains a framework for managing and analyzing
chemical compounds. It supports:
- Process large collections of molecules in tables
- Calculation of various types of property
- Editing in 2D
- Pharmacology and drug discovery
- Advanced tools for interacting with semantic
web resources
- Facilitates working with decision support systems
- Rich client and takes full advantage of networked
resources, such as databases and interoperable Web services, XMPP
services
- Site-of-metabolism prediction
- Semantic web functionality
- Browsing of large compound collections
- Editing of chemical structures
- Scripting language (Bioclipse Scripting Language, or BSL)
which can be used to automate tasks or create reusable snippets that
can be shared with others
- Platform independent
