Publisher review:BioPHP is a collection of tools to help PHP developers write bioinformatics applications more rapidly. The BioPHP Project is a non-profit, open source software project that aims to extend the PHP scripting language so it can be used to develop bioinformatics applications.
BioPHP is NOT a bioinformatics application. Rather, it is a collection of tools to help PHP developers write bioinformatics applications more rapidly than if they had to start from scratch using "vanilla PHP".
It is primarily a tool for developing web-based bioinformatics applications.
Features:
- read biological data in the GenBank, Swissprot, Fasta, and Clustal ALN formats
- allows user to navigate data spread across several flat files.
- can do simple sequence analysis tasks such as computing molecular weights, translating codons to amino residues, generating the charge, chemgrp, consensus strings, etc.
- can look for patterns in sequences such as start and stop codons, mirrors and palindromes, and other more complex patterns (represented as regular expressions).
- can digest a nucleic sequence using one or more restriction enzymes or endonucleases.
- can interface with external programs such as Clustal, to align two or more nucleic or protein sequences
