We are hosting a number of localized bioinformatics databases and analytical systems. Some of the systems are developed locally and provided for public use.

Powered by the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) from the European Bioinformatics Institute, our local installation includes hundreds of public sequence and sequence related databases and the whole suite of EMBOSS toolset supported by a Lenovo iCluster 1800 Linux cluster running OpenPBS.

Developed jointly by Shanghai Center for Bioinformation Technology and Department of Computing and Information Technology, Fudan University, The BioDW is an integrated bio-data warehouse includes many heterogeneous databases and cross-linked by a unified DBREF table. Gene Ontology is used for clustering bio-data semantically so as to serve as a pivot for data access or semantic similarity search.

Developed at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, the EST Analysis Pipeline, or ESTAP, is a series of automated procedures that verify, store and analyze EST (Expressed Sequence Tag) data generated using high-throughput platforms. The Web-accessible ESTAP software provides EST analysis support to a distributed group of researchers working on a variety of target organisms (Mao C, Cushman JC, May GD, Weller JW. ESTAP - an automated system for the analysis of EST data. Bioinformatics 2003; 19:1720-1722).

Developed at the Bioinformatics Institute of Shanghai Institutes of Biological Sciences, the Multitudineous Protein Survay System is to help biologists to analyse many proteins at a time. With simple input of some protein's ids (from ncbi and swissprot), one can get a set of relevant annotations, domain and structural information available from multiple public databases.
