Paper Abstract:
|
Biologists and bioinformaticians heavily rely on data portals and repositories accessible through web application. While
they mostly agree that the data is valuable, they find the interfaces hard to use and non-intuitive. In this paper we present a
user-centered design of a database for classification and annotation for major and minor introns in various species. Our
design is based on surveying and interviewing minor intron researchers and comparing the features of existing databases.
In addition to its ease of use, the proposed database, Major and Minor Intron Annotation Database (MMIAD) offers high
flexibility in querying and downloading subsets of information that interest the user in multiple commonly used file formats. |
