Introduction

PSOS is a webservice that accumulates information on protein sequences. Therefore it executes various bioinformatics tools and visualizes the results. It can be easily integrated into your own protein related web application in order to accumulate more data for the sequences. PSOS may be of interesets especially when your application has no additional computing facilities or your infrastructure has not enough power for the analyses.

Features

• Easily integrate computation functionality into your application

• Gather information on proteins and visualize it

• Extend it with your own tools

• Browse tool results as they become ready, quick tools earlier than long running tools

Workflow

PSOS is based on PSOT (protein sequence observation tool) that implements a unified tool execution schema and on dbxref that transparently retrieves data from various databases without you having to know where the database is located. PSOS wraps these two tools in a REST service and a web page.
