PlantUp (DNA Sequences)

Project Origin: By AceBuddy

PlantUp is a server-side project. The software makes it easy for a user to request DNA sequences. We found without PlatUp quering the DNA sequences of plants from the NCBI are quiet complicated. We decided to reduce with software all the complicated queries to the servers. Once the DNA sequence is in the software, we created an algorithm to compute up to 5000 of the proteins from the DNA sequence.


This project continues expanding, we are now integrating a neural network to work with the DNA to compute the likelihood of the vitamins that the plant has potential to generate.

What are the services?

PlantUp is a software that allows users to work with the DNA of plants. There are 2 main services:


  • DNA sequence extractions from the NCBI servers

  • Computation of up to 5000 proteins per each DNA sequence queried





Querying 3 of the chromosomes for the plant Actinidia Deliciosa







What we made

We built web-based software to support scientists to request easily long heavy DNA chains as chromosomes, chloroplasts, mitocondrias, also we created an algorithm to computer up to 5000 proteins per each "shotgun DNA sequence".






Computing proteins:







How does it work?

The software has communication to the NBCI servers, these are extremely tedious databases, PlantUp was built to simplify all the cumbersome generated due to the millions of data related to DNA, PlantUp with a easy to use interface extract chromosomes, chloroplasts, mitocondria submitted to the NCBI. We also created an algorithm to compute in the backend up to 5000 proteins per each DNA sequence.
