Adenine Biological Database

Standardizing biological data.

Comment

Inspiration

  • Productivity, Creativity, Innovation, and Research
  • The currently available biological database is vast and sometimes very redundant
  • Integration of the biological database is difficult

What it does

Adenine is a website that contains three types of biological databases which are sequence databases, structural coordinate databases, and literature databases.

Adenine seeks to increase computational biologists' productivity by offering a single website with all types of biological data and a user interface that is beginner-friendly. According to the algorithm of their searches on this page, users may read the newest news and stay up to date.

Sequence databases provide primary and secondary biological databases. Biological tools are also available for the efficiency of research. Structural databases on the other hand provide users with visualization tools to understand the functions of proteins. For users who do not know what to study about, Adenine has the so-called protein of the day which encourages the user to learn and practice biological skills to improve productivity and creativity. Finally, the literature search provides students with insights into the newly published papers. What’s special about the Adenine literature database search algorithm is that it provides peer-reviewed filters which enable users to get high-quality articles for their very own research. The advanced searching algorithm is also available in the Adenine literature database.

How I built it

This prototype has been built with Figma and Adobe Photoshop

Challenges I ran into

I was new to Figma when I started this project, so I had to learn from the ground up. I was able to figure out how to use Figma for my project with reasonable ease after doing some research and watching YouTube videos. Compiling, interpreting, and comprehending computational biology issues posed another hurdle. To address this issue, I spoke with my computational biology instructor, who provided me with good insights into the issues faced by computational biologists in their everyday research.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I’m proud that I’m able to finish this project by myself. It took me quite a while to get used to the environment of Figma. I am happy that I’m able to convey my enthusiasm for computational biology in this hackathon.

What I learned

As we continue our bioinformatics investigations, I am becoming more aware of the relationship between computer biologists. I've spent most of this project engrossed in learning about the issues that bioinformatics students face on a daily basis. As a result, I decided to build a solution to alleviate the problem that computational biologists face on a daily basis so that more people can enjoy in silico biology.

What's next for Adenine Biological Database

If Adenine proves to be a viable business concept, we will commence site development by seeking partnerships and investors. To improve the website, a few tests will be conducted for quality assurance, beta testing, performance testing, runtime testing, and security testing. In addition, the database will be released online and marketed through advertisements. Users will be polled in order to identify bugs and enhance the database.
