Dear biologists,
Throughout my years of conducting molecular biology research, I have encountered two significant challenges that I believe require attention. Firstly, the scattered, unreliable, and complex nature of web analysis tools for computations such as transcription or codon optimization makes them difficult to use effectively. Secondly, access to the complete raw data from published research is limited, as information is often dispersed across papers and supplements.
To tackle these problems, I took it upon myself to create a solution: www.pepticloud.com. PeptiCloud is a bioinformatics web-platform designed to centralize bioinformatic tools and storage. It offers user-friendly and thoroughly tested algorithms for common bioinformatics tasks, including:
- Length and composition analysis of DNA/Amino Acid sequences
- Finding the reverse, complement, and reverse-complement strands of DNA sequences
- Transcription/Reverse transcription
- Translation
- Codon optimization
- Protein size prediction
- PCR annealing temperature calculation
For bioinformatic storage, PeptiCloud empowers users to create individual projects, each serving as a dedicated space for managing and storing raw data related to a specific bioinformatics project. The files within each project can be easily downloaded individually or as a zip package for seamless transfer. Additionally, users can create organizations to group relevant projects together. It's worth noting that projects and organizations can be set as private, limiting access to only their members, or public, allowing any user to access the shared data.
Lastly, a user-friendly search feature at the top of the page enables easy discovery of other users, public projects, and public organizations.
Today marks the first release of PeptiCloud, and while there is much work ahead, I envision this platform growing into a thriving community of biologists. I sincerely invite you to explore the website and share your valuable feedback through this discussion forum or the contact page of PeptiCloud.
With warm regards,
The PeptiCloud Team
