- PROPHET is an NIH sponsored graphics-oriented software pack-
- age designed to give biomedical researchers a wide range of
- computing capabilities which can increase productivity and
- expand computational options. Tools for data management,
- analysis, and scientific visualization include: comprehen-
- sive capabilities in statistics and mathematical modeling,
- molecular modeling and display, nucleic acid and protein
- sequence manipulation, and a high level programming
- language. Some of the other services PROPHET offers are:
- access to databases of biomedical interest, such as the Pro-
- tein Data Bank from Brookhaven National Laboratory, GenBank,
- the Cambridge Crystallographic Database, and the PIR protein
- sequence database, user support via electronic mail, a tele-
- phone hotline, an online help system, an electronic
- newsletter, and an organized user group, extensive documen-
- tation, and numerous research application-specific programs.
- Software created by biomedical investigators, such as MBIR,
- and commercial software, such as SAS, can be utilized within
- PROPHET. Users are also connected via the Internet to a
- broad community of life science researchers. Capabilities
- exist for establishing both moderated and unmoderated bul-
- letin boards in various scientific domains of interest.
- PROPHET's open architecture design and advanced software
- engineering results in a highly portable and well supported
- package. The Biomedical Research Technology Program of
- NIH's Division of Research Resources provides PROPHET at low
