Construction of an on-line platform of predicting nucleosomes based on web techniques

Nucleosome positioning has an important role in gene regulation. The role should be considered in studying rules of gene regulation. Therefore,a fast and accurate platform of predicting nucleosome is required in this field. Based on curvature profile,a nucleosome prediction model developed bu us,a platform of predicting nucleosomes was constructed using web service and ASP (http://www.gri.seu.edu.cn/icons/). In this paper,we detailed the construction procedure and the capacity of the platform.
