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 by clicking here. The CAPRI project was born to allow researchers 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 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 allows to have full access to the processing power and the databases available on the CEINGE's remote servers. Unlike other similar software CAPRI does not require to install any software.

Tool description

Capri home page

A page of CAPRI is a web-page consisting of:

  • a worksheet (1), in which the user can insert and edit his data, for example he can paste here his 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 kinds of biological data: DNA, protein, alignment, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and tree.

DNA Page

This is the default page when CAPRI is launched and allows to analyze nucleic acid sequences like DNA or RNA. The top menu bar changes if one, two or more sequences at time are analyzed, indicating what tools are available for the analysis.

Protein Page

This page allow the analysis of peptidic sequences. The top menu bar changes if one, two or more sequences at time are analyzed, indicating what tools are available for the analysis.

Alignment Page

This page allow the analysis of sequence alignments.

HMM Page

This page allows the analysis of Hidden Markov Models (some information about HMM can be found here).

TREE Page

This page allow the analysis of phylogenetic tree.
