ON THE Transformer PROJECT AND Transformer-2
The Transformer project aims at streamlining the generation,
storage, interpretation, processing and application of molecular
population genetic data, especially as related to Biological
Conservation.
Transformer-2 is one computer program within the Transformer
project. It allows the user to concentrate in the accurate
interpretation of molecular patterns and in the discussion of
quantitative results through automating data transformations and
analyses that are otherwise burdensome, complex and prone to
error.
Through saving research time while increasing accuracy,
Transformer-2 permits the effective implementation of urgency in
the growing number of practical applications of molecular population
genetic information.
CREDITS
The Transformer project was conceived and developed by Juli
Caujapé-Castells while he was responsible for the molecular
population genetics and phylogenetics laboratories at the Jardín
Botánico Canario “Viera y Clavijo” (since 1999 until present) and a
“Ramón y Cajal” researcher in this institution (since 2001 until
present).
Transformer-2 has been programmed by Mario Baccarani Rosas, and
is the result of a collaborative effort between the Jardín Botánico
Canario “Viera y Clavijo” and the Departamento de Ingeniería del
Software of the Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias (ITC).
The Transformer project received support from the Cabildo Insular
de Gran Canaria, the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (MCYT) and
the research projects REN2003-07592/GLO (MCYT) and Pi2003/032
(Dirección General de Universidades e Investigación del Gobierno de
Canarias).
