Phylo 3.3.2 / Open-Phylo – Gaming Framework to Align Genomic Data

Phylo 3.3.2 / Open-Phylo

:: DESCRIPTION

Phylo is a human-based computing framework applying “crowd sourcing” techniques to solve the Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) problem. The key idea of Phylo is to convert the MSA problem into a casual game that can be played by ordinary web users with a minimal prior knowledge of the biological context.

Open-Phylo is an open crowd-computing platform to solve the multiple sequence alignment problem.
