With BioNumerics Advanced Server, Applied Maths has combined all the existing client-server based connectivity and functionality with a new platform to build interactive, webbrowser-based services. Clients can connect to a BioNumerics Advanced Server from all over the world using their webbrowser and run queries, perform identifications, generate clusterings, or display phylogenetic trees within a web environment.
BioNumerics Advanced Server provides two solutions for sharing its databases and offering its services: a direct TCP/IP socket-based connection and a web-based communication. The socket-based connection is particularly designed for client-server platforms that include upload and download actions, whereas the web-based solution is suitable to provide services such as identifying unknown samples, placing an unknown sample in a dendrogram of database matches, assigning allelic and VNTR types, etc. Using the web-based functionality, the client does not need BioNumerics.
