CAPRI
From Wiki CEINGE
CAPRI (Common Application Program Remote Interface) is a web interface for accessing all the major tools currently installed at CEINGE. It was developed in our laboratory and can be used only by registered users. The CAPRI project was born originally to allow researchers to have an easy access to many widely used sequence analysis tools, such as Blast, FastA or even packages like EMBOSS, which were originally developed on a command line interface. CAPRI has important improvements respect to other similar tools because it does not require to install any software and allow to switch from a bioinformatical tool to another in a comfortable and intuitive way. CAPRI resembles a typical desktop application where the user selects the sequences and uses a number of menus to access the various functions but in reality this tools allow to have full access to the processing power and the databases available on the CEINGE's remote servers.

Tool description
A CAPRI page is a web-page consisting of:
- a worksheet (1), in which the user can insert and edit his data. The easiest way is to paste here your sequences.
- a lateral menu bar (2), which allow to: open other pages, load data from disk, servers or databases, copy the visible data to a new page and to select which sequences have to be displayed.
- a top menu bar (3), which allow to access the installed analysis tool and which dynamically changes depending on the number of sequences.
Currently CAPRI implements five kind of page to the analysis of five different kind of biological data: DNA, protein, alignment, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and tree.
DNA Page
In this page user can analyze nucleic acid sequences like DNA or RNA.
