System flowchart of RiceGAAS. Sequences collected from GenBank and submitted by users are stored in the genome sequence database. The sequence is analyzed for homology against protein and rice EST databases, gene prediction using various programs as well as analysis of exons, splice sites, repeats and transfer RNA. The results are integrated and automatically interpreted and the predicted genes and LTRs are stored in respective databases. Predicted genes are further analyzed to come up with the most plausible gene model. All analysis results are visualized using web-based graphical view and are made accessible via the Internet.
