SeWeR - SEquence analysis using WEb Resources (RRID:SCR_004167) | portal, data or information resource, service resource, software resource, topical portal | Sequence analysis using Web Resources (SeWeR) is an integrated, Dynamic HTML (DHTML) interface to commonly used bioinformatics services available on the World Wide Web. It is highly customizable, extendable, platform neutral, completely server-independent and can be hosted as a web page as well as being used as stand-alone software running within a web browser. It doesn''t require any server to host itself. The goal of SeWeR is to turn your web-browser into a powerful sequence-analysis tool. It is written entirely in JavaScript1.2. SeWeR can be downloaded and mirrored freely. The whole package is just around 300K. You can even run it from a floppy. SeWeR is not compatible with Netscape 6. SeWeR now generates graphics.
