GRASP web service
GRASP web service was developed to facilitate the steps of performing a reconstruction of ancestor sequences (represented by partial-order graphs) and the exploration, archival and sharing of the output. The service consists of three major parts: an inference engine bnkit written in Java, a web service backend written in Java using the Spring framework and Postgres, and web client functionality written in Javascript. The latter two are contained in the open source project GRASP. GRASP depends on the open source project bnkit.
GRASP: What can it do?
The GRASP web service has a User’s Guide that we recommend. You will find it in the menu at the top of the GRASP screen at all times.
GRASP: How do I make it work on my computer?
Use any standard web browser and enter the URL http://grasp.scmb.uq.edu.au. We recommend that you sign up for an account; with an account you will be able to use a lot of features that otherwise are unavailable.
GraspCmd: How do I run it?
Follow the User’s Guide.
What else?
There is a command-line version to run reconstructions on your local hardware. This version does not have all the features; for instance there is no interactive mode and currently no way of transferring your reconstruction to the web service.
