CFGP
CFGP (Comparative Fungal Genomics Platform) is a web-based multifunctional informatics workbench. The CFGP comprises three layers, including the basal layer, middleware and the user interface. The data warehouse in the basal layer contains standardized genome sequences of 65 fungal species. The middleware processes queries via six analysis tools, including BLAST, ClustalW, InterProScan, SignalP 3.0, PSORT II and a newly developed tool named BLASTMatrix. The BLASTMatrix permits the identification and visualization of genes homologous to a query across multiple species. The Data-driven User Interface (DUI) of the CFGP was built on a new concept of pre-collecting data and post-executing analysis instead of the 'fill-in-the-form-and-press-SUBMIT' user interfaces utilized by most bioinformatics sites. A tool termed Favorite, which supports the management of encapsulated sequence data and provides a personalized data repository to users, is another novel feature in the DUI.

MicroScope
MicroScope is a microbial genomes annotation and comparative analysis platform, which was developed by the French National Sequencing Center located at Genoscope. It is made of three major components : (i) a set of syntactic and functional annotation tools, (ii) a relational database, the Prokaryotic Genome DataBase, (PkGDB) which is linked to metabolic pathway databases (MicroCyc) created using the Pathway Tools software, and (iii) a graphical interface, the Magnifying Genome (MaGe), which allows performing relevant expert annotation that combine synteny results with metabolic network predictions.
