TASUKE+ multiple genome browser for variants and GWAS

多 (TA) means "a lot of, many"
助 (SUKE) means "help"

So, TASUKE browser is aimed to help researchers for visualization and sharing of multiple genomes resequencing data from species having larger genome.

To show and manage huge amount of resequencing data with smooth manner, TASUKE uses a client-server system. So, TASUKE requires a LAMP server consisting of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. This system is also aimed to share the data with collaborators or the public.

A web browser which can accept HTML5 is required. We checked the operation of TASUKE with Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Google Chrome on Win and Mac.
It can be used on tablet device which has android browser or Safari.
In Internet Explorer, Some functions do not work properly.
