Phylotree

The Phylotree came up with the monograph of a lady, a student at State University of Ceará called Tariana Mara. She had begun a project paper on a program that can make queries to an online biological database, the NCBI, and from the obtained data, generate a phylogenetic tree from that information. After a while, a professor of computing, Ana Luiza, invited me to give this program worked, at that time had no name nor was working.

I leaned over the task. The program was done primarily with Java and awt (was and still is a desktop program). I took a revamped it, changed much of the code of course, changed the interface, I began to use swing components, and in the end, had a better finished product. Still buggy.

So, I was invited by the core of genetics UECE the Nugen, to continue this project there with a scholarship. I did it. The final product was a very interesting software which, through the package and ClustalW philip, can make appointments online, alignment, and genetic researchers to present a pretty tree with the relationship of the proteins that he researched.

The program also allows viewing alignments made with ClustalW, as well as add and remove sequences in fasta format of the data online.
