In the project named BITool, I developed one of the first Android app in bioinformatics. The purpose of the app was to identify motifs in nucleotide sequences provided as input.
During the initial phase, I focused on building the core functionality of the app. I implemented algorithms and techniques commonly used in bioinformatics to analyze the sequences and extract meaningful motifs. The app allowed users to input their sequences and receive accurate motif identification results in return.
In the second phase of the project, I aimed to enhance the capabilities of the app by connecting it with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. This integration would provide users with access to a vast collection of biological data and resources, enabling them to perform more comprehensive and in-depth analyses.
Looking ahead to the third phase, my plan was to leverage data analytical tools to predict and design synthetic or evolving sequences, similar to those observed in the Covid SARS virus. By utilizing advanced algorithms and predictive models, the app could assist researchers and scientists in studying the genetic patterns and evolutionary characteristics of such viruses, contributing to a deeper understanding of their behavior and potential future mutations.
Throughout the development of BITool, I strived to create a user-friendly interface that would simplify complex bioinformatics processes, making them accessible to a broader audience. I aimed to empower users, whether they were researchers, students, or enthusiasts, to explore and analyze nucleotide sequences with ease, ultimately aiding in the advancement of bioinformatics and genetic research.
