STINGRAY: SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED GENOMIC RESOURCES AND ANALYSIS
Author
Affilliation
Abstract
Background: The STINGRAY system has been conceived to ease the tasks of integrating, analyzing, annotating and
presenting genomic and expression data from Sanger and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms.
Findings: STINGRAY includes: (a) a complete and integrated workflow (more than 20 bioinformatics tools) ranging
from functional annotation to phylogeny; (b) a MySQL database schema, suitable for data integration and user
access control; and (c) a user-friendly graphical web-based interface that makes the system intuitive, facilitating the
tasks of data analysis and annotation.
Conclusion: STINGRAY showed to be an easy to use and complete system for analyzing sequencing data. While
both Sanger and NGS platforms are supported, the system could be faster using Sanger data, since the large NGS
datasets could potentially slow down the MySQL database usage. STINGRAY is available at http://stingray.biowebdb.
org and the open source code at http://sourceforge.net/projects/stingray-biowebdb.
