Did a read analysis on EST sequences from soft corals. The analysis followed the methods from the paper Metagenomics: Read length matters.

Short description of the method

• Homology detection by blasting(blastx) EST reads against NR database
• Use CDD Search to find conserved domains in detected proteins
• Blast proteins against COG database to map proteins to COGs and functional groups

• Diva: Comparative analysis tool

 Finishing the development of Google Gears version of the viewer.  Developed client side/javascript support of GFF relational database
