WebAnts is intended to researchers working on life sciences and it's an on line software service which greatly increases productivity when retrieving information about known proteins.
Information about sequence, structure, classification and biological function of each protein is scattered over many database entries in several databases: retrieval and organization of information about a protein can therefore be a laborious and time-consuming task.
Aethia has created a tool which automatically queries some (about 20) of the most important biological databases distributed across the world and collects several information concerning the selected protein, supplying the user with a web report (including names, symbols, keywords, sequence, function, comments, domains, 3D structure, literature references, cross-references...) which forms a complete and easy-to-consult output card.
The advantages of WebAnts are:
- Automation: information retrival about known proteins from different databases is performed automatically via software
- higher productivity: less time spent in database querying and more time for result analysis and interpretation
- flexibility: WebAnts has been designed to be easily adapted to different domain applications and the patterns of information to be collected are highly customizable
- semplicity: WebAnts output consists of an easy-to-read web page
WebAnts acts on two levels: it exploits a virtual interconnection of several databases and then it performs the information retrieval and extraction from each database entry. Interconnections can be redounding, assuring high reliability and completeness to the information retrieval.
