Distributed Annotation System

The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) is used in bioinformatics to share and collate genomic annotation information.^[1][2][3] It is an open source project.

From the biodas.org web site:

The distributed annotation system (DAS) is a client-server system in which a single client integrates information from multiple servers. It allows a single machine to gather up genome annotation information from multiple distant web sites, collate the information, and display it to the user in a single view. Little coordination is needed among the various information providers.

Sites and tools currently using DAS

• The DAS registration server
• Ensembl The Ensembl Genome Browser
• UCSC Genome Browser
• WormBase
• FlyBase
• TIGR
• ProServer
• SUPERFAMILY
• InterPro
