RNAspace est un environnement pour créer des sites web dédiés à la prédiction, l'annotation et l'analyse d'ARN non codant protéine (ARNnc). Les sites web permettent d'exécuter différents outils de manière intégrée et flexible. RNAspace permet d'intégrer de manière complémentaire différents prédicteurs d'ARNnc. Il propose également des outils pour comparer, visualiser, éditer et exporter les ARNnc candidats.
RNAspace is an environment that allows to create web sites dedicated to non-protein-coding RNA (ncRNA) prediction, annotation and analysis. The web sites allow users to run a variety of tools in an integrated and flexible way. RNAspace is focused on the integration of complementary ncRNA gene finders. It also offers a set of tools for the comparison, visualization, edition and export of ncRNAs candidates. Predictions can be filtered according to a large set of characteristics.
A public web site http://rnaspace.org has been created that allows for on line annotation of a complete bacterial genome or a small eukaryotic chromosome. It has been conceived to be as parameterizable and extensible as possible.
This allows to configure web sites for special uses:
- A site dedicated to a species with limited accesses, a site shared by a group of biologists ...
- Parametrization of a site includes declaration of available gene-finders, limits for process time execution, disk space, storage duration, execution on a connected computer cluster via a job scheduler.
- It is also worth to note that the environment could be used in command line and thus inserted in a pipeline.
