ArachnoServer header

ArachnoServer is an online repository for protein-based spider toxins.

An example Spider Toxin Record.

ArachnoServer stands out from other toxin databases due to its breadth of information, logically displayed content, comprehensive cross-referencing, proper ontologies, and careful manual curation of data. Dynamic control over toxin records allows researchers to quickly view information relevant to their discipline and research needs. All common, alternate and deprecated names for toxins and spiders are included, making it easier to search old literature. ArachnoServer also offers researchers tools such as logical search queries, FASTA downloads, BLAST searches, an internal PDB structure viewer and interactive sequence visualisations.

All public data contributed to or included in ArachnoServer is freely available at ArachnoServer.org, without any need for subscription or registration. The ArachnoServer web front-end is cross-platform, and continually tested with all major web browsers.

ArachnoServer allows for secure storage and convenient use of private or unpublished information. Collaborators and commercial partners can utilise ArachnoServer's storage solutions and web application frontend, to securely and easily work with their data from anywhere in the world. While public data is fully integrated into your private records, your information remains hidden from other users and the general public.

ArachnoServer stores all information in a relational MySQL database.

I am currently reviewing this information, to ensure that it does not conflict with an IP agreement. In the meantime, you can find more about the public details of ArachnoServer's implementation under the "Construction and content" section of the publication, or Chapter 2 of my Honours Thesis.
