ArachnoServer

The world’s first manually curated database for protein spider toxins

High impact research requires the wide and clear distribution of results. This can be hampered by bioinformatic web applications, which often suffer from a lack of maintenance, leading to a decline in data currency and subsequent accuracy. These databases also require that their structure, data, and utility be appropriately modified over time with new discoveries and changes in information priority.

QFAB has worked in collaboration with Professor Glenn King to create ArachnoServer, the world’s first manually curated database for protein spider toxins. 

Enabling easy and powerful advanced search, browse and view capabilities, ArachnoServer enables neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and toxinologists to explore high quality toxin information and rapidly answer their research questions. With a fully featured secure curation section available and a robust, extensible and maintainable software architecture, ArachnoServer will continue to remain the world’s gold standard online data repository for spider toxin research for years to come.
