UK CropNet Software Development Goals

• Improve user access to data via user-friendly
  graphical displays.
• Development of platform independent (Java)
  graphical displays.
• Integration of these displays into a database
  browser.
• Provide tools that improve the users ability to
  query integrated data sources.

Why Java? Why not just use ACEDB displays

• ACEDB does not fully support all the displays we
  require.
• Independent displays are not reliant on a single
  data management system.
• Fully interactive.
• Platform independent and portable.

Graphical Displays

• Recombinant Viewer.
• Comparative Genetic and Physical Map.
• Pairwise Comparative Map.
• Grid Map.
• Genome Map Viewer.

Comparative Queries

• Simple comparative queries can be grouped into
  two distinct types.
• Common properties e.g. find all genes that are
  associated with a particular function such as
  flower development.
• Membership of a group e.g. homology group.
