IBS

IBS visualizes protein and nucleotide sequences to produce customizable, publication-quality diagrams that summarize functional elements and sequence organization.

Key Features:

• Versatile Visualization: Generates detailed diagrams that highlight functional elements such as domains and motifs and show sequence organization for proteins and nucleic acids.
• User-Defined Manipulation: Supports recoloring and rescaling of sequence elements for customized representation.
• High-Quality Output: Exports publication-quality figures suitable for inclusion in scientific publications.

Scientific Applications:

• Motif Identification: Visualizes functional motifs to assist identification and annotation within sequences.
• Sequence Alignment Comparison: Represents and compares sequence alignments to highlight conserved regions and relationships.
• Structural Feature Elucidation: Illustrates structural features of proteins and nucleic acids to aid interpretation of domain architecture.
• Genomics, Proteomics, and Molecular Biology: Supports visualization tasks in genomics, proteomics, and molecular biology research.

Methodology:

The standalone implementation uses Java and the online implementation uses HTML5 and JavaScript to generate customizable sequence diagrams.
