Project Description

Nowadays, there is plenty of software providing all kinds of functions. However, we notice that it is difficult to find one where many important functions can be integrated together. Much software containing inspiring and excellent ideas has to face the risk of being isolated just because of the lack of extension abilities. Still, these software sometimes can be hard to operate together. For example, it uses different programming languages and varies in the way of importing and exporting data. At the same time, the functions of some software may overlap in some cases.

Thus, a novel idea came to our mind.

Our project aims at integrating all the available resources in order to make it much more convenient for developers and biologists to do their work in this field.

Right now, our team has mastered Python and learnt the way to build web-based applications by using Django framework. We have built CI(continuous integration) developing environment. Every time new code is pushed into the git repository, our system will run a unit test and a coverage test. If passed, it will be deployed to our server. Moreover, we also have learnt possibility-based simulation methods and evolutionary-computation-related methods. As to the user interface, we have roughly built the framework of a web-based application and have developed some little components.

In the future, we will gradually perfect the hard core of our software and beautify the user interface.
