1. Choose a program

All available programs are listed in the right upper part of the start page.
You select a program by clicking on the program name.

OR: If you know what you want you can enter the program name (spelling!) into the input field   next to the Start button.

If you have any questions concerning the functions of a sequence analysis program see Short Descriptions or Help Index A-Z.

There are quite a few more programs available in the Advanced Mode .


2. Specify a sequence

During a session you work on our server. Any sequence on which you want to perform an analysis must be transfered to our server.

You can use the Copy and Paste area in the lower left part of the start page for this purpose. Any sequence format will be fine! If you enable the option "Keep ..." below the Copy and Paste area the transfered sequence will be stored in your current working directory on the server.

Alternatively you can specify sequence files that are stored on the server side. Browse through your directory system by clicking on directory names in the lower right part of the start page. To select one or more sequence files you would click on its name.

After subscribing to our service you have access to your personal home directory . Here you can store files and create new subdirectories. The current working directory is the active directory. The result file of a program you started will be stored in the active directory.

You can change the current working directory by clicking on the bar "working directory ..." and specifying a path.

While you browse through your directory system on the server side your current working directory changes automatically.

Use the "Upload" button below the Copy and Paste Area if you want to transfer sequence files from your local computer to our server.


3. Click on "START"

This button is located in the upper part of the start page. After pressing "START" the Application window is being loaded.


4. Specify parameters or accept default values

Each program has its own specific Application window which brings up an alarmingly large dialog, but fortunately often little needs changing.

The Help Index A-Z gives you complete explanation for all the options offered.


5. Click on "RUN"

You find this button in the upper part of the Application window. Press it and your request is transfered to our server and processed immediatedly. However, some programs need a little time ...

The result will be displayed automatically.


6. View your result

Your result will be displayed as soon as your request has been processed successfully. A result file is automatically stored in your current working directory on the server. The Results Page gives you an overview of all applications you started and all result files that have been created.

To view previous result files load the Results Page or the Files Page by clicking on the Results Page or Files Page button in the Main Page. In both windows the result files are listed.

The Files Page is very convenient to clean up your directory system or rename your files.
