Max showed how JAVA can be used with an ORACLE database to manage DNA data at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The server side portion of the application runs on Linux and talks to an Oracle database on Solaris where the genetic data is stored. The user interface includes webforms that talk to an API created by Plands.com and a Java Applet created by Max Sturmia that provides a visual interface to the miroarray slide in a user’s experiment and the data obtained at each location on the slide.
