DNA Subway: A User-Friendly Bioinformatics Platform
DNA Subway is an intuitive, web-based bioinformatics tool designed to make genomic data analysis accessible to students and educators. Developed by CyVerse, DNA Subway simplifies complex bioinformatics workflows, guiding users through DNA barcoding, genome annotation, and comparative genomics analyses. The platform allows users to analyze sequencing data without requiring advanced computational skills, making it ideal for classroom and research use.
Transition to DNA Subway 2.0
The current version of DNA Subway (DNA Subway 1.0) is sunsetting in June 2025, and will be replaced with DNA Subway 2.0, which is undergoing a complete redesign to better support Nanopore sequencing data analysis This next-generation platform will include:
- Expanded DNA barcoding: Designed to handle data from Nanopore sequencing enabling educators and students to analyze their own barcode sequences.
- Small genome analysis: Support for assembling and annotating microbial and other small genomes using Nanopore sequencing data.
- Enhanced user experience: A more modern and interactive interface with improved workflow tracking and data visualization.
- Cloud-Based computing: Streamlined data processing through JetStream2 computational **, reducing the need for local computing resources.
