In this post I want to present a preview of PhyloclassTalk, an application for phylogenetics analysis using the BioSmalltalk environment with Pharo 1.4. The main parts are presented through the Metro style UI popularized in Windows 8. The following screenshot shows the main application window:
excepting for the icons, the layout was generated programatically with simple and plain Morphic objects. The "Territory Builder" uses a wizard library called Merlin and it is based in a Territorial library which basically is a Composite pattern implementation to build complex territorial objects. I have integrated the Help in just one hour, based in the HelpSystem without any previous knowledge of the library.
The main module window is a "Case Study Browser" implemented with the OmniBrowser framework. From the browser one can create and associate several phylogenetic data to a species case study, classify according to defined territories and then export results into formats like Arlequin, Google Fusion Tables or Fluxus Network.
The following screenshot describes the "Blast Query Builder", which enables dynamic generation and execution of Blast XML results, producing filtered objects which can be later loaded in the case study browser for further associations. Fitered results could be cumulative, meaning that each new execution is applied on the previous results.
Detailed features as the rule engine protocol and the post-curation of classified data are going to be described an the upcoming paper. I will provide also new posts on this front as I prepare a release, stay there online.
