Dear User,
I honestly did not start this project with a grand plan.
The idea came while I was exploring genomic data myself on
the NCBI website. Downloading a .fasta or
.genbank file, putting it into Python manually,
and then running it through Biopython works, but it can be
inconvenient- especially when you do not have a computer around.
Using a phone brings its own set of problems. So I thought:
why not make this process a little easier?
Initially, I was familiar with Flask, but I soon realized that with Flask, I would have to build and manage many things myself. Around the same time, I discovered Django. It is based on the MVT architecture and comes with many useful tools already prepared, which made it a much better choice for this project.
Django handles the backend, while HTML and CSS take care of the frontend. Cloud MySQL is currently being used for complaint registration.
And honestly, learning Django while building this has been frustrating at times. I didn't know Django beforehand, so almost every step involved learning something new and then trying to implement it myself.
Right now, the project is somewhere around its middle stage. As I learn more about Biopython, I plan to keep adding features one by one.
My hope is simple: that this becomes useful for students, researchers, and anyone interested in exploring biological data.
Thank you for using it. If you would like to support the project intellectually, you're always welcome on the GitHub page linked in the footer. Contributions are genuinely welcome.
I will keep improving it.
Bye bye! Love you all! 🌹
Yours Truly,
Govind ❤️
